Phred there's not much more that I can add that hasn't already been said. I lost my Dad just a few days before Christmas many years ago and I liked to think of him in heaven with Jesus just in time to celebrate His birthday. You have brightened our lives here at Pet Talk and I know you brightened hers. I know there will be some loneliness in the days ahead and if you feel like talking, we're here as we always have been. {{{hugs}}}
