In my mind this was Yorkie Talk at its very very best. You all knew I was fighting a big battle with Zoey and her health, and to a one you were more than supportive. You never said to me, give up, the outcome prognosis is poor, hey we all knew that it was. Instead you gave me many shoulders to lean upon as we went through this. I tear up every time I think about my lost one. I had so wanted to win that battle, but it wasn't to be.
For me the prayers and well wishes and just being there for me was of equal value at least with the practical suggestions.
I will always thank YorkieTalk and our members here for this, and will never ever forget your support.
Never ever discount the value of a hand that offers emotional support. |
And when you did not win that battle, we all cried with you! Just because we don't all agree on every last point does not mean we do not as a community come together as a family when one of our own is hurting! As megansmomma said, it's like a neighborhood.... you may not be able to stand your neighbor or want to hang out and have BBQs together but if your neighbor needed a helping hand, you would put your disdain aside and lend the hand (or at least, you should!).
