Dear LS friends,
Thanks to all of you who commented when I had my "backward slide" at the 6 week anniversary of Indy's death. So many of you offered support and some profound comments on the body's need to protect itself from pain and sorrow. I am feeling a little stronger now. In fact, I have been wanting to go and visit my vet and bring her a thank you gift and letter. She was amazing and guided me through 2 very long years of caring for Indy and his chronic illnesses. I am a nurse and she shared information and detail with me on a professional level. She acknowledged my skill and expertise and never turned down a phone call or a visit when I had a "gut" feeling that something wasn't quite right. Her compassion during Indy's last hours are beyond compare. I could not have made it through that day if it were not for her support. I am lucky to have had a vet that is truly gifted and an asset to her profession. I have not been strong enough to visit her or the animal hospital where Indy and I spent so much time. I have also wanted to thank everyone there for their kindness and compassion. Many of the vet techs had special feelings for Indy and always offered extra TLC when he visited. Some cried on the day he died. I am ready now. I have written my "thank you's" and will stop in this week. Thanks to all of you for getting me through some rough spots and helping me find my strength. I miss my beloved "little man" and still can't believe he is gone from arms. He will never be gone from my heart. Fran

Dear Fran, What a wonderful picture of you and little Indy I am so glad you posted it for us to see. I am glad you are feeling a bit better and will be able to take a thank you note and gift into the vet's office.
You are right our babies may be gone from our arms but never ever from our hearts. You have been a wonderful support to me too and I don't know how I would have ever made it without all the support I have found on LS. I'm sure there are still some rough times ahead but together we can make it. Love, Ann -------------------- My girls went to the Rainbow Bridge 6 weeks and 3 days apart.
