Still With Us
Cat
TINA IS A WONDERFUL DAUGHTER SHE CAME TO US IN 1993
WE MOVED TO A HOUSE WHERE TINA WAS A STRAY.
WE ADOPTED TINA AND MOVED AND SHE OF COURSE CAME WITH US.
WELL TINA HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH IBD DIABETES,
LIVER DISEASE PANCREATITIS AND I’M SURE THERE IS MORE.
FOR THE LAST YEAR WE HAVE DONE ALL WE CAN FOR TINA AND
NOW IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. WELL NOW WE ARE FACING WHAT
TO DO NOW. TINA’S HEALTH IS NOT GOOD AND WE NEED TO MAKE
SOME DECISIONS ON HOW TO HANDLE THIS.
YOU KNOW TINA HAS GIVEN US SO MUCH IT’S SO HARD TO
MAKE A CHOICE. WE’VE THOUGHT ABOUT JUST SETTING A
DATE AND WE PUT THAT OFF IN OUR MINDS.
ALTHOUGH WE KNOW WE HAVE TO LET HER GO.
ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD WON’T SAVE HER ANYMORE.
MY HEART IS JUST BROKEN. HOW DO YOU SAY GOOD-BYE.
I WISH TINA WOULD JUST GO ON HER OWN.
THE DOCTOR SAYS “THOUGH YOU KNOW THAT’S NOT RIGHT”
WHICH I HAVE TO AGREE. I JUST DON’T WANT TO LET GO.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH.
WE HAVE LOST 2 OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS LAST YEAR ,
IN FACT MARCH 11 2001 WILL BE A YEAR!
FOR HER PARTNER THAT WE ALSO ADOPTED WITH HER.
FOR RIGHT NOW I JUST WANT TO THANK GOD FOR LETTING US TAKE CARE
OF HER THE TIME WE’VE HAD WITH HER. AND THANK HER FOR
THE PAST YEARS OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE SHE HAS GAVE US.
WE LOVE YOU TINA SO MUCH.
YOUR FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS RIGHT NOW.
WE LOVE YOU BABE.
WE LOVE YOU
MOM AND DAD
