I will pray for Erin and for those who will be left behind. You are such a good friend. It reminds me again to be thankful for what I have and happy in my life. I try everyday to apprecitate all I am surrounded with- and be grateful for it all. I know this is not in the same league, but my neighbor's dog is missing from their yard- she(the dog) is a dachund, old,blind and deaf. We think a coyote or fox took her. It makes me think of my own dog- who has been on a downhill slide for a while now. I love him and the thought of losing him makes me cry. I hope that my neighbors will find their dog- she and my dog are the same age. Sorry- I just needed to vent.
