You have had a difficult week.
PLEASE -please do not give into the sad. Sad is an open door for bad things to enter.
I do not mean to sound all new age granola girly on you.
(I know my avatar has tie die on it, but I had it so I used for the picture-It really isn't me)

Wow! We have aquariums, one tropical and one native minnows. That one is fun because we go minnowing at grandma's.
I would like to try dairy goats, but I know I need to have a secure place for them at night and right now it isn't feasible.
We have a German Shepard, a ridge back without the...
You are in the right place.

Prayers all around.
I am sorry.

I am sorry she has gone through so much.
I sometimes just do not know what to say.
so much needs to be expressed when a friend is in this situation, but how?
Silent comfort does not communicate well over the Internet.
Suzie, Please try to rest...
Oh, it is nice to have you back!, but I am sorry about your
loss of your grandfather, and your grandmother's dementia.
I hated losing my grandmother like that.
I am also sorry that you have to battle cancer again with your dad.
You have been through it all. There is a thread here that you...
I have been thinking about them. I figured it was not good. It is difficult. You want people to know you care, and that you wish them well, but you do not want to remind them of their loss or their impending loss.
