There are so many new members here. I am so, so sorry for all of your losses! It just breaks my heart. I look at all of the wonderful pictures of all of these unique, precious little "children," and read your stories of incredible love and heartache, and I am overwhelmed. God bless you all and all of your babies.

Love,
Marcia

God bless you too Marcia and sweet little Hannah too. It is good to see you again and I know how much your heart still hurts from losing your little Hannah girl. I think of you often and pray that God will help ease your pain.
Love, Ann

I find a reflection of myself in the people that are just starting to post thier grief and hurt. I am still shocked that I have made it this far. A huge part of that is finding LS. Pamela

Hi Angel Marcia:

It's sooooo nice to see you here again..... How are you????

Yes......it's true.........there are sooooooo many new people here who have lost their precious "Creatures of God"; or that their sweet babies are sick ----
whether those special family members be the furry kind........the winged kind........the rodent kind......the finned kind, etc., etc.....

God has given us the gift of many different types of "animal families".....

I too, see myself in soooooo many of the new people.........
I'm now here talking about Ms. Lucy and Mr. Yoster.........their illnesses, my concerns, my nerves, etc......

Here, at LS, I find comfort, love, acceptance, and a wonderful sense of FAMILY!!

I love coming here to help others.........To try and help all of our wonderful friends
who are suffering, as best I can....

Lightning-Strike is VERY, VERY SPECIAL........

After our sweet Ernestine was put to sleep..........I found LS very early the next morning..... I WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL!!!!!
(I know that lots of us know THAT FEELING!!!! )

Please Marcia...........Keep in touch --- You're in my thoughts a lot!

Love, Denise xo

Hi Marcia,

This is a beautiful and comforting post....thanks for caring enough to console everyone---old and new. It's always great hearing from you. How's Maggie? Hope all is well for both you and her. Bless you for being the angel you are.

Thinking of you,

Thanks so much Denise, Jim, Pamela and Ann. Just a quick note now because I had several paragraphs typed when my new kitty!! started walking on my keyboard and I lost my reply! So . . . Maggie is doing fine. She's really a good little girl. Anyway, a group of animal lovers I sometimes help needed a foster person for a little feral kitty about 3 1/2 weeks ago. She needed some socialization, so I brought her home with me. After about a week they wanted to go ahead and put her in a vet's office to put her up for adoption. Needless to say, I couldn't stand the thought of it, so I now have a little approx. 14-week old tortoise shell kitty named Sophie. She is a darling little kitty. She and Maggie get along just fine.

Take care ya'll.
Love and hugs,
Marcia

God bless you too, Marcia.

I've found so much comfort in your poems and posts. Thank you.
