I first met you last Saturday at Dale's luncheon...which I accidentally crashed...I'm sorry for that, but glad I could meet you Maria. I also lost my husband, back in 2008 after a long time in the hospital. Luckily we had 3 dogs & 1 cat, they kept me from losing it. Kept me sane afterwards. Their love, their humor, thank God for them!
I saw in Dale's picture he had a little dog in his arms.....so I am sending in a donation to Valley Animal Center in Dale's memory.
Hang in there...the grief can be daily, crying daily for a year but it gets Kass pastime goes on & we adjust to our loss. My heart goes out to you....you said Dale would be laughing at my "crashing" of his luncheon...you both have a sense of humor& that helps us in the toughest of times.
I wish you well....with love & compassion, Michele Prestegard.
