Hi Tonya, Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to this. I have been out Christmas shopping and am barely able to keep up with all the posts! No need to apologize for anything. I am glad you felt comfortable and trusted us to vent about what you were going through. I don't feel it was much off topic at all considering that we all go through tough times in dealing with the illnesses of our kitties. I was just trying to help you and I hope that what I wrote did. I think no matter what religion anyone is or isn't, we all go through the same feelings. We all feel depressed, alone, and/or hopeless at times. I hope you are finding comfort in your faith and if you need anything, just ask.
