I'm so sorry that you are going thru bad times right now.. life has its up and downs and I believe that when you are going thru the bad its because you are not focusing enought on the wonderful good things. For example you are an independent business owner, great mom to three adorable fur-babies, and awesome person who will always be there to say kind words and prayers for any needy friend here in YT. I can only imagine the gazillion positive qualities your family and local friends can come up with when describing you!! So keep your chin up and I promise it will be over before you know it.
Additionally I am sending prayers Penny's way
I am sure that this is one of your most serious stressors. Please keep us updated today k?
