Going To Visit My Vet..., Feeling a little stronger now Options

[IndysMom]

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.

Thanks everybody for your encouraging comments.
Cheri- great idea! I will be getting a tray of cookies for the vet staff.
Pamela- You & moose were quite a team. I like how you put the picture together!!!
Indy was my little guy. You can tell I just beam when I showed him off. And boy was he a camera ham!!!
He seemed to know when his picture was being taken and always "posed"
To answer Bijou's Best Friend, my boy was solid and in his heyday weighed 29 pounds. He only stood around 14 inches tall because he had such stubby legs.

I do love to share things about him. Thanks for allowing me the chance to do so.
You guys are the best!!!
Extra hugs to you all,
Fran
