Oh Dinah.
((((Dinah))))
(((and Harry))))
I wish I knew what to say to make this easier for you. I'm sitting here in tears at my computer, thinking of you and your little dog that you lost, and your Harry that you will lose and wishing that things could be different. And I'm thinking of my Jake who was so sick before he died and who I left at home with my parents when I went to college, and of my two girls who are the light of my life and who have kept me alive so many times when I really wanted to be dead. And I feel your pain, Dinah. I really do.
Know that the little dog you lost lived a good life. That she was happy right up to the very last and that she didn't suffer. Know that Harry has also lived a good life and that you are doing everything that is right for him. That you are caring for him the best you possibly can.
And know that you have to care for yourself as well. I can't tell you how, as I'm not very good at it myself. And I can't really give you words of comfort right now as I'm exhausted myself and drained of whatever comfort I might have to give - but I do hope that you can find something - *something* - to keep you going right now, Dinah. Something to get you through this.
I'm afraid I'm saying all the wrong things, and for that I apologize. I just want to let you know that I am thinking of you and Harry and I'll continue to keep you in my thoughts every time I hug my precious ones.
Please take care.
(((Dinah & Harry)))
