This is so heartbreaking. You are doing what you have to do but that can give no solace when it hurts so much.

I hope you hear soon about the jobs. The petsitting would I guess be good--let you give your love at least. I'm so glad your son's keeping his rats. We'll all have to pray to St Francis that he comfort the others who've had to leave you. I somehow think St Francis reaches beyond the Catholic faith when it comes to critters--he had some unique connection that calmed & assured them.

Please hang on, hour by hour if a day is too much. It seems like most of us now are just waiting for the other shoe to fall in at least one area--no peace anymore in anyone's life, or not for long.

We're all praying for each other, whenwillitend. Some tomorrow will bring sunshine for you.
