Re: ~In-Patient Hospice For Mighty Oak~Letting Go....
Dearest Marie, You did everything you could for the Mighty Oak and so much more. He was so blessed to have you fight this beast with him. Your love for him shines brightly. I know it can get tough towards the end with the pain medications. Hospice really have some of the most wonderful caring people. But my heart really goes out to you right now because I know it's not easy. Sending you much love at such a difficult time. Know that we care about you. I'll be keeping you and the big guy in my thoughts & prayers. I sure wish there were something I could do for you. Please take care of yourself and give yourself time to deal with all this.
(Big hug coming your way!)
Chelee
