Please accept my deepest apologies. I could have sworn I replied to this, yet when I was looking through the thread, I couldn't find it. I'm so saddened about this So sorry it had to happen so close to Christmas. And I'm sorry I wasn't here for you when the pain was really fresh. Please contact me if you ever need to talk. It's been two years now since I lost Duke. I will tell you the pain does lessen but it takes a good while.
