Long, Painful Day
To all of you who responded with amazing comments and spiritually uplifting words on ‘Journey’s End’, I cannot thank you all enough. I was going to try to answer all of them individually, but I just can’t. Each time I think I can stop crying for a while, something else brings all of it back. I want all of you to know how much it means to me that you have gathered around Masaman and me during this tragic portrait of a few days in the life of a wild creature.
I am heartbroken and frustrated, angry and crestfallen… but as God is my witness, I will never stop reaching out to helpless critters in their time of need… I simply cannot turn my back and do nothing. I hope and pray that all of you will be compelled to do the same, should the situation arise. And if you truly believe your capabilities are not the best answer for the animal in need, I urge you to contact local animal rescue authorities and arrange a handoff to them so that they can attempt to right the wrongs that nature has committed…
Bless you all for caring about us both.

i feel your pain….i so feel it…..and i also feel the love inside you….your respect for all life…..it is a beautiful thing….i have been in your shoes….and it hurt and it permeated my being for a time….i could think of nothing else….but in time i knew i had done the right thing and the pain was replaced by the thought of the love connection i had with that little being, if only for a fleeting moment….and i was able to think of her again and smile….you will, too….in time….i send you much healing energy for this time of grieving….tears are cleansing….let them flow….allow yourself time and space….your little masaman smiles down on you, his heart feeling the love….love never dies…..bless you, my friend….bless you….

Thank you so much, Jan… this world would be such a fine place without so many tragic events… but kind words from a person I have never met could never be more appreciate…
