Oh Aly. I'm so, so heartbroken for you and for Nookie. You hurt so deeply because you love so deeply. I too am amazed at those who have the courage to face the possibility of such loss and sadness, day after day. But then again, your precious charges, as well as yourself, are reward every day with all of the good that you do for so many. I understand you wanting to take Nookie home so that he may know the love and comfort of a real home. I only pray that should you decide to do this you will not make yourself sick. You are such a sensitive soul and we can't bear to see you hurting. When you see Nookie, please give him a kiss for me, ok. Oh, this is so heartbreaking, and I want to cry. God Bless you Nookie and Aly.
