well sooti came into our lives when ash had been here over 2 years, and when my darling went to rainbow bridge i waited 6 wks before getting lexie, i kinda wanted one sooner, but i felt it was disrespectful to my sooti, for everyone its different, i remember the weekend i adopted lexie i was trying desperately to win tickets to c santana live in auckland on the radio (i am very lucky winning on radio stations) but alas no luck, i reckon i was not meant to, as i would have missed out on getting my little angel lexie, things happen for a reason dont they?
