Thank you again for making the effort to come to Salt Lake.<br /><br />I too have wondered about bringing pets into our home because of the ache their loss can bring to our hearts, but you are right, who would want to live such an empty life? I love Kerri's C.S Lewis quote. I have a very sad baby chick story to tell you sometime. :(<br /><br />I for one, am looking forward to the joyful new life this week will bring to your family.<br /><br />I love you so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239062158093178613.post-70902075462948753712011-03-16T10:47:02.766-07:002011-03-16T10:47:02.766-07:00I didn't even know you had a cat!!!

I just wanted to share this quote, one you probably have already found in your journey with grief, but one that has meant much to me since the loss of my brother in a tragic accident this last summer. It's hard to make ourselves vulnerable again and again, isn't it?<br /><br />"There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."<br />~C. S. Lewis<br /><br />Thanks for your ongoing story of courage and love. It means a lot.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576698293179840264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239062158093178613.post-54883827737167389072011-03-16T05:58:14.242-07:002011-03-16T05:58:14.242-07:00So sorry about Luga Luga.

I remember being freaked out because we didn't realize she was pregnant until she was birthing babies. What a terrifying thought!<br /><br />Also, I love my hair in that pic. What a fashionista I was, and I'm so glad you have proof of it!Cassandra Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393970173001814393noreply@blogger.com
