Xaleia, I admire your strength. You've been hit with a lot, and you're sticking by your guns. I foresee a similar future for me, and I've always said that as long as I have food, my little dogs will be able to eat too. They don't take much ... Besides, I don't think my life would be worth living without them. I need at least ONE thing I can count on - DEPEND on - and it's them. |
Like you Lee, I held each of my babies, while they passed. I too did not want them wondering where I was when they were so scared or hurt. I did not do too good staying calm, but I kissed and held them while they passed.
Bless your heart Lee. I hope you do not have a rough road ahead. If ever it gets to rough..just send a message and you will never be alone to bear it. You, me and each person on this board has had some tragedy in their lives. Does not matter how big or how small each person's burden is, it is indeed theirs and they must take it on and learn to deal. I'm not stronger than any one of you here. My path has been rocky since the day I entered this world. Much out of my control..... much has been my own bad choices.......LOL. I'm blessed that I have two wonderful sons, two gorgeous grandchildren and my three babies. We can't possibly appreciate all the treasures our world beholds unless we walk some rocky paths sometimes..no?
Things are fine now and I have a decent job. I can pay the bills and take my pups to the vet if needed. I still have Cork from my original three dorkie yorkie puddin pops... She is 15 now. Marley and Lilly have joined the fray. hahahaah
So thanks to you all for the kind words. I did not mean for you to all feel sorry for me, it's just sometimes when I read stories that come off a page or screen and grip my heart........... I begin to write......hahahaahah
Life is good. That article just ...well you know. It touched each of you:-)
