Elyse, I'm just now seeing this. I am so very sorry for your loss. I...there are no words. I know what it's like to go through this. You know I just had to say goodbye to my oldest baby, Charm, just barely a week before Rory passed away. You are in my thoughts, my friend. Rory sounds like such a special boy and he was blessed to have such wonderful parents as y'all. I hope he'll keep my Charm company and teach her how to play until I can find her again. I agree with something you said, though, that he's now without pain and hopefully in a better place. Keeping that thought in my mind and in my heart is one of the only things that has been a consolation to me about Charm. If you ever need or want to talk, I'm generally ALWAYS around the 'net somewhere. It's tough to say goodbye to such an integral member of the family. I mourn Charm as a lost daughter because, to me, that's what she was...my daughter.
I'm sorry if this hurts more than comforts.
