No more pain. Your words show the depth of your love for him.<br /><br />I'm glad you have a good, solid town to call home. There's something about knowing a place well, claiming it for yourself as The Place I Will Be With My Cats. I hope we stay put here in Madison forever. And someday, we will face "the final healing" with blessed assurance.<br /><br />This really touched me, Rosemary. Thank you.
