#1---WILL---I'm so glad that you popped in to share your own thoughts and feelings with us. Yes, you've been in my thoughts so much throughout this. I know I and everyone here can share stories with you about accidents and near-accidents we (and EVERYONE we know!) have had involving our own loved ones and pets. You are DEFINITELY not alone. You are definitely not to blame. All you are is human.
That said, nothing anyone can say can erase for you the horror of that fateful moment and all the ones that have followed. Aubrey has told us how much you love those fur-babies, and without dwelling on the negatives any further, I just want you to know that I can at least *start* to imagine what all this has been like for you, and I'm so so sorry....my heart goes out to you.
And you are a GOOD GUY for understanding Aubrey and all the feelings of anger and sadness that she has had to work through. Just keep hanging in there, and in the end this WILL end up drawing you closer together.
Anyway, I just didn't want to "lose" your post in all the excitement and happiness to follow, because...
#2---EEEEEEEP!---that is just incredible news about Ella's sister!!! Surely Ella has acted as a guiding angel to ALL of you in bringing this about. She knew that you could offer just the loving, caring home that her sister needed and deserved. This is absolutely the best possibly ending to such a sad story.
No, she won't be "Ella", but she'll be her own special self, and you'll always feel that connection with Ella through her, knowing that Ella was a part of bringing you together, and is looking on with happy appreciation.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I'm beyond excited for you!!!! |
