I know as many have said to me (and it's posted here too) it's so rewarding when they go to their forever home.......I think about that alot too......My heart is filled with alot of the, would of's,  could of's, should of's, that it's best FOR ME not to at this point, i have a weak heart when letting something go that YOU played a role in nursing back to life...
Good luck to you in your decision process, its hard  |
since I'm a cry-baby. I know exactly what you're going through. It's not easy having your heart going one way and your mind going the other while both want desperately to help those babies.
I would probably ask more questions of the forever home candidates, than the rescue house. And knowing me, no one would be good enough. Letting go...this is really tough for me.
I have been pondering the idea too (in secret from those around me) for months now. The YT members here are helping me see things from another perspective, which in essence is; convince my heart to follow the good sense of keeping my heart in check and see the big picture so that I may be able to really help them. But as you know, it's still hard.
I have no human children either, so my heart is fertile soil for these babies. I feel them very deeply.
Hopefully, I'll be able to follow my fellow YT member's advice and I'll be further along with MY weak-heart soon, so that I may be able to help.
Good luck to you as well. I know how hard it is (there's a feeling of guilt there as well, on top of it all, for not having the strength).
