Oh Aly, you have to go through so much pain, but you know that this was what was meant to be or you wouldn't have done it. You have so much good to do in the lives of so many dogs, even if it means your own personal sacrifice. I think you recognized that this was a good match and a good match isn't always easy to find. You did wonders for Willow in the time you had her and it is because of you that she was able to find her a forever home. I hope that you can find the satisfaction and blessing in what you have accomplished for Willow and her new guardians and that it will ease your pain.
Your mission in life is to be an Angel and as long as you can continue in that mission there will be sadness as well as joy. Please don't despair but see this as the successful placement of a deserving animal and a job well done. We are so proud of you we could burst.

Jennifer, I am so glad your story had a happy ending.
