Re: Akira needs prayers......

[Nina]

Ah Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear your baby Akira is not feeling well.  It must be close to unbearable to have had to leave her at the vets office.  I know we all panic, but it is quite possible that she'll pull out of her current troubles and bounce back, she's done it before.  When will they have the results of the blood work?  Is her breathing labored?  My thoughts and prayers are with the two of you. One thought about losing someone near another important event, like a birthday...  Several years ago, my sister's husband died of a heart attack (1 2 3, gone), on MY husband's birthday.  My sister felt bad about my husband's Bday being a reminder of our loss.  I feel differently about it.  I think of it as a way to acknowledge and celebrate both my husband and my brother-in-law in spirit.  It makes me feel closer to my brother-in-law somehow, but then, I don't think of death as the end, but as a transition.  This is meant in no way to diminish your anguish at the possibility of losing Akira, just a thought that I'm not sure I should have even shared.  Since losing my Jazz, I seem to have a harder time evaluating my input for appropriateness.
