Hello everyone, I'm sad to say that I lost my BB today....he was a brave boy who went as far as he could in this life.? I got to be there and hold him one last time as he went to sleep.? Thanks to everyone for their kindness....there will always be a place in my heart, and a piece missing from my life for my sweet BB.? Thanks also for this forum and the information that you are trying to spread about this horrible disease.?
