Robin, I am so very sorry for your lose of Norman and two other babies of yours - I am crying reading your email - I can (and so does everyone else on the list) feel your sorrow and pain by losing him - it's just such a horrible disease, and sometime it happens too quickly -
Please know that Norman and other babies are in angel's hands with no more pain, but just lots of love for you - Hugs, Hideyo -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 2:22 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: pls add Norman to the CLS Hello Robin, I'm so sorry to hear about your babies. Losing three loved ones in such a short time must be so hard to comprehend. I can only imagine the sadness and disbelief you and your family must be going through. Thank you for taking the time and the considerable energy it takes to let us know about Norman, it was very generous of you to share his story. I'm sure Norman and your other Angels in fur will be by your side when you are ready to introduce any lucky new members that come into your home.
