My husband just walked in and asked me what was wrong - just from the look on my face. He read this and shook his head. He knows how attached I've become without even meeting them in person - he also thinks I'm crazy but anyway.

I think I'm going to cry. Oh Aly, I know your finances are stretched but please don't let this person take them if there is any chance she will let them go outside.

I need a big ole crying icon.
