I know it will take ages - it is less than 3 weeks since Twiggy left us and she is still in every corner and I wait for her to appear each time I open a can or empty a bowl (she loved to lick empty bowls). Because of m home and health circumstances I won't be able to get another fur baby in the future, but still have one to love. Maybe in the future, one will find its way into your hearts and help easy the pain you'll always feel.
I hope the trip to France and the holiday preparations help keep you going through the dark days ahead. I feel for you and with you, with every fibre, hugs janet
