Although the pain and grief is unbearable, I would rather feel the way I do now than never have known Daisy.

Daisy's Mommy,

I think that's a wonderful comfort to you in this time of great grief and crisis, and I think that Daisy, where she is now, was very blessed to know and love you. And in my humble opinion, it's my feeling that folks like you, who feel that way, help the rest of us through this time, and give us hope. Take care - Barbara

Thanks for that sentiment, Daisy's Mommy. I know exactly what you mean. Although my heart aches, I am so much better for having had my little boy in my life. Even in my tears (which are starting to come again right now), I have a smile on my face as I look at a picture of him from some Christmas in the past, obligingly giving me his paw for the millionth time, and gazing at the camera with his big, brown eyes. My life was better because of him.

Daisy's mommy,

What a beautiful statement. I could not have said it better. I feel the same way about my Kurby.

God Bless their souls....

I used to say I couldn't imagine my life without him....
Now I say I couldn't imagine my life if I never had him in it.

What you said was like cold water being poured over me.

I've been so wrapped up in my own selfish grief I forgot that I met a wonderful, loving little being and that we were able to give him 8 months of family and caring outside of the horrible little cage he was living in before.

You're right - this pain is nothing compared to the delight of having known my little Arthur.

Thank you for the simple reminder.
