Not at all sweetie... the poem is beautiful and made my eyes leak. (I spoilered it because we're really not supposed to post original work on the MB outside of the Self Promotion area, but... you know, I didn't have the heart to remove it, so thought the spoiler would be better.)I'm so sorry FlakeNoir ! I should've known to use a spoiler tag-I'm embarassed!
I'm sorry you're going through so much with the animals--every so many years, I go through the whole 'aging pet population' thing and I struggle with it sooo much.
My heart goes out to you, girl... xox
