Thankful Day 8

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Group Incorporated

I am changing direction just a bit today. I am still in Kenya and enjoying myself but Thanksgiving is tough for me. I lost my Mom on Thanksgiving and even though it has been years It is difficult. My way of coping is reaching out and being away. Since my family of humans is essentially gone I made a family with my four Rescues who give me joy, laughter, and purpose. They are at Camp while I am away and I miss them. I have so much and my pups absolutely enhance my life. Here they are: Molly (the white one), Finn (the large brown and black English Yorkie), Billy the Kid, (the gray one: a Silky) and Chico (who is also gray but has a black face mask). Here they are:

Your rescues are beautiful! I hope you're enjoying your vacation. On a side note, I understand and empathize. I didn't get to go home for Thanksgiving 18 years ago. My father died early the next morning. My mother died on Mother's Day. I was running an overnighter for Breast Cancer Awareness. My mother died of breast cancer while I was trying to raise money. But the fact is, everyone has an expiration date and you and I had nothing to do with how their lives ended.

If I was your mother, sister, daughter, or close friend where you live, I would be so proud to know my dear friend was taking a risk and doing something she loves with animals. Her heart and passion is with animals, whether they be rescues or in the jungle. I would say, dear friend, you are doing exactly what you should be doing at this time in your life and I'm very proud of you.

Good morning Sheila.  That look on their face tells me they love you and I'll bet they are missing you while you are on another journey.  It just makes that homecoming more pleasurable

They are looking good and I am happy to see that Chico is doing well also, I know things were a bit rough for him previously.

Sheila I am with you how inconvenient my Mother passed on November 19th sort of ruined the Thanksgiving spirit for that year... then when my dad passed on December 4th he kind of ruined the Christmas Holiday.... I am always amazed how many of my friends and relatives all have family that pass around the Holidays.... Endre

p.s.: I am not being a smart ass just making an observation....

Sheila, I've heard that some of these camps are so much fun that they don't want to come home!  And your fur kids look like they are enjoying themselves.
