<p class="MsoNormal">The weight on my lap felt familiar. As did the softness of
the fur under my fingers; I gently rubbed back and forth, back and forth. With
each stroke came a memory that could no longer find fulfillment in this present
morning. Tears filled my eyes once more, remembering what was. But each new day
brings renewed hope, new experiences, new friends, new love…and thus, it is
with me this day. Her name is Thelma Lou and her soft fur, large brown eyes and
cold nose carve a new place in my heart. So my tears are also hopeful that as
my new life recovers, so will my broken heart.<span style="">
</span>Welcome Thelma…to my heart and to our home. May you find our home to be
a forever home made in Heaven, just for you.<span style=""> <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br><span style=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">Snooters to Everybody,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">Maggie Honnold and Thelma Lou (what's the big deal?)<br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">Hollyberry ATB and Noah ATB ( we are glad our momma has somebody to love)<br></span></p></div>
