Everyone in Mobile loved him. <br /><br />Yeah, time changes everything and I wish it wouldn't. Guess I don't always get my wish. But, there is a purpose to it and I know it. It's just hard sometimes.Cherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-61151687196478408352012-04-18T15:49:11.657-05:002012-04-18T15:49:11.657-05:00Oh, Cheryl.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and those who loved him.<br /><br />Secondly, I understand how you feel about loving and losing those dearest friends... our animals/best-friends. We had to put down Mr. Billington last year. Tough goings when my mother's two cats moved in. Long story but we only have the one cat now. <br /><br />Time changes everything, doesn't it? What I've learned is the only way to get through the changes in our lives is to realize to everything there is a season. Birth, life, sickness, health, death, and once again rebirth. Joy, however distant it may seem, will come again.<br /><br />Control what you can and let God have the rest.

I know what you mean. It seems that aging animals gravitate to me. However, once these guys are gone, the door is closed. Now, as for the cats and dogs I will probably be doing this till I kick over.Cherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-10859660157148015802012-04-18T14:17:34.353-05:002012-04-18T14:17:34.353-05:00Yes I know the feeling - I can fix nothing but I k...Yes I know the feeling - I can fix nothing but I keep trying.Cherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-694324544745372172012-04-18T14:16:21.225-05:002012-04-18T14:16:21.225-05:00You are right Stephanie.

Mine are always cats. It would seem unwanted, aging cats gravitate to my house, my heart. I learned a while back, I can't keep them alive, so I'll give them as much love as I can while they're here. And when they're gone, I'm thankful I still have one with me....because there are always at least two. And the one that's left always loves me back when the other is gone. Then the rules take over and send out an alert: "Opening for wayward cat at Lesia's house." And we begin the cycle again...Lesia Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961313800912097829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-65352465997188008112012-04-18T11:53:46.983-05:002012-04-18T11:53:46.983-05:00Cheryl,

They love us unconditionally (or not at all) and they are entirely dependent on us. <br /><br />Control has always been an issue with me too. I want to fix everything. Mostly, I can fix nothing.Alicia Hunter Pace (aka Jean Hovey and Stephanie Jones)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13844329805282121486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-37798382857477413532012-04-18T10:52:38.207-05:002012-04-18T10:52:38.207-05:00Cheryl,
