Gen, I hope you will take this as the kindly advice that I am intending it to be....
PLEASE try to take a little time for yourself and forget about this whole situation for a few hours. YOU ARE ENDANGERING YOUR HEALTH. The stress you are putting yourself through is more than one person can take for an extended period of time.
You have done all you can do for now. It is in the hands of your community now, to bring Cookie back to you. And I really believe that they will. Just give it some time to play out. The fact that everyone you encounter seems to know about Cookie's situation proves that you have done your job.
Please take care of yourself. |
