Reply #30: We find wisdom the hard way,

[Tangerine LaBamba]

don't we? You're smart and wise and very nice.

Losing is hard. Only people who've lost big, as you apparently have, know how hard it is. Sadly, I know.

When my best friend, she was named Happy, was sick and wasn't going to get better, I sat on the floor at the vet's office and held her in my arms as she was relieved of her pain. Her eyes were locked onto mine, and it is still one of the moments in my life when I knew I was doing that absolute right thing, the best thing I could ever do for someone who had never let me down.

I'll just hold you in my heart a little bit for now, and wish you strength and love.........................
