Well the first chemo has begun,although the "infection/cellulitis" is not completely gone the chemo Dr.felt it was safe to go on.Unfortunately or perhaps as was meant to be her beloved'Chanel" died during the night before.
Let me tell you about an amazing man I have watched "step up" and become a caregiver,not only to his wife but of everyday life in general "Pete"heard a noise about 1230 am and got up to see the small cat struggling to stay on her feet,her legs were "like rubber" as Pete put it.He picked her gently up and held her as he sat with her fragile little head tucked into the crook of his elbow he sat until he felt the last heartbeat ,then knew she was gone.
The task of telling Vera was not a small one ,especially on this day of "firsts",and as her day began I knew that like so much involved in Veras' life for the past 8 months,that strength I never knew she posessed;would kick in once more to get her through the first of many treatments to come that hopefully will "overpower"the invader in her body.

You know, this was really sad. Even though I know the cat was sick and I am glad they didn't put her down. It is amazing what trials we have on this earth. I always feel sorry for people that believe in nothing..will keep her in my prayers..
Hey, you know what I was thinking..Isn't it funny how you didn't sell your home yet? You wouldn't be there for your friend, if you did..I keep thinking we are here for a reason too..
That is terrible! Ironic..my friends cat Snowball died Saturday evening too. She was 13 years old, and died in Kristys' arms. God bless Vera. I hope you are showing this. It is a beautiful tribute to her strength!
My thoughts are with all of you as are my prayers.
