Tomorrow is Mother's Day. It's also the 5 months to the day I lost my Sir Thomas. Theresa still seems to be chasing his spirit throughout the apartment. For the past few weeks (mostly waiting for my bus home from work) I have had the Michael Jackson song 'You are not Alone' stuck in my head. I think this may yet be one more way Tom "talks" to me? I can imagine Mother's Day and Father's Day is difficult for we pet parents who have lost a fur baby. Banfield called to have Theresa come in for her check up. Today was the Kentucky Derby, and I learned the hard way long ago not to even try to get a cab that day. Even my regular guy warned me this time; no go. But he did offer tomorrow. But, it being the anniversary AND Mother's Day, I just didn't have it in me. For all of us pet parents, I hope tomorrow is not TOO difficult. I am thankful for all of you and this web site.

Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Thank you Peggy. Any replies are appreciated. I don't post on other threads much myself for fear of not having the right thing to say. Yeah, I'm still angry at that so called vet. I feel if not for him, Tom might not have needed the extra care I could no longer afford. But, it won't bring my boy back, so I try to move forward. Today, as many a warm spring day, I went outside on my lunch to walk around the building and have myself a good cry away from everyone. The warm spring days make me think of Tom and how much he loved them. This coming Memorial Day, I finally qualify for paid holidays, and I'm going to take it off. If the weather is fair, I plan to drag my papasan chair out on the balcony, drink something cool and listen to soft music while enjoying nature with miss Theresa. I can think of no better way to honor Tom and his love of warm spring days on the balcony...

Hi Tom's Dad,

Congrats on finally qualifying for paid holiday's! Now we just need the weather to cooperate so you and Theresa can enjoy a proper spring day. I think you've planned a wonderful way to honor Tom and I'll keep my fingers crossed that the weather does its part . You and Theresa remain in my prayers. I hope you have a peaceful evening and dreams filled with visits from Tom.

Take care of yourself,

Peggy
