Betsi

Oh Betsi, I bet that today was hard for you. You poor girl. I'm so glad that you got to spend some time with them before they left....I bet you treasured every second of it too.

The internet won't be the same as having them there with you but at least they can see Grandma and still know who she is!! Hugs, Betsi

Betsi. I know how hard this is for you, as i told you before my brother has lived there for close to 10 yrs now, we do keep in contact by internet but it is not the same. He lives in Davao, can't remember where you said your kids would be.
If you want to talk I am here on a daily basis. Hopefully the time will pass quickly and they will be back home with you. Hugs and Prayers are being sent to you.

Betsi, my heart is with you. There is no way to say how it must feel. I am sending you hugs, and will be praying for you, Mike and the kids.

Thanks everybody. I love you all!

Holy cow how did I miss this??? Betsi I'm so sorry I wasn't on yesterday. I know you have to be hurting, but being able to stay in contact will help some. Wish I was there to give you a hug.

Thanks Janet. I could use a group hug just about now

This is part of the reason I'm getting a labradoodle from Tink. I needed a plan to keep busy since I won't have any kids around. I am going to train a therapy dog. Ever since my brother had a stroke 3 years ago and I watched the rehab center using therapy dogs, I knew that was what I would do someday. I will be a part of this group www.therapet.org It's about an hour from where I live, but that's fine. Tink is picking a puppy for me, and Mike and I are driving to Wisconsin to pick it up. We needed something to look forward to, and this is doing the trick.

I'm excited to get a dog. Even if for some reason it can't become a therapy dog, I'll have a great pet. Mike's great dane is getting old...
