I am so very sorry for the pain that she caused you. I think of you and Tina a lot, and I am grateful that she has a mom so devoted and loving to her. I know most people didn't understand why we turned our lives upside down for Ashley, but fortunately I didn't experience such insensitivity. It’s difficult for some to understand a love so pure and unselfish that we receive from our babies, and we owe them the love and protection that they need in return. I didn't think I could love Ashley more than we had before, but with her dementia we had a little girl with such innocence and the biggest, most loving heart. That stage of her life was very difficult, but I wouldn't have traded a second of the precious time we spent trying to protect Ashley and trying to make sure that she was able to comprehend our love. I know how much you love Tina. She is not “just a dog”. She is your baby and your heart. I know some people can’t comprehend that, but they are losing out on something very wonderful in their lives. You and Tina will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. If you need some support, I am always available. |
