Hi Jeannie and Cody,
Jeannie, you have been in my thoughts so often. As I cared for my dad, I started to better understand all that you did for my mom and the intimate relationship and bond that is created between the caregiver and the patient. Both you and Cody brought love and light into mom and dad's life every day you helped care for mom. I so appreciate everything you both did to support mom and dad.
I have a Cinderella story to tell about Vita. As you remember, Vita was a very protective (and not very social) dog. I was concerned about finding her a loving home. One of my friend's parents (Nancy and Ron) adopted Vita. Vita is now sleeping with them in their king-sized bed, and cuddling with them while watching TV. Nancy and Ron are also talking about taking her boating and swimming on Lake Norman (if Vita's willing!). I think dad may have had a hand in this!
