Thank you so much for your reply, yagr! It is a comfort to hear a similar experience. I'm praying for you and Sonseearae (and I hope that is a comfort to you). Sire went to CR, and I know he talked to my friend on the phone, so I'm a little less worried about him now. He's still not really communicating with me, at least not like we are used to. I miss him. When he sends me a quiet word, I hurt with him, so he stays away. I will keep you posted on how we are doing, and when things change for us. I would like to know how you are doing too.
