    Re: Rescue snake passed away

    I know how you feel Wayne... I found a snake that I had caught and released dead the other day... Obviously from a mower... I was heartbroken, even though I didn't "know" her personally. My condolences.

    Oooh too sad. :-( I'm so sorry Wayne. Like you said, tho, at least he died in the hands of someone who cared for him instead of all alone and still neglected... for what little that helps.

    Well, Thank you everyone.

    I went and bought Limon a new tree, it made me feel a little better.

    Spoil that guy rotten... It's the only way.

    Yeah, man. I gotta smile, giggle, and laugh! You go, boyfriend! You're right. It is the only way. Give to those we have and love. None of us can save all those we want. But we can make sure those in our care are compensated for whatever they went through prior to us loving them to distraction. Doesn't correct all the wrongs, but re-inforces that within us that tries to better a bad situation/world. Mollifies. Soothes. Gives us something to focus on while we mourn.

    Re: Rescue snake passed away

    Wow. Gertie, you said that so well. May I quote you to a friend of mine going thru a bad spell right now after loosing a rescue horse that she fought very hard to save? I've been trying to word an email to her and it wouldn't come out of my brain right. Your words say exactly what I was trying to tell her.

    Re: Rescue snake passed away

    Lori, dear, of course you may. And if this helps, use it, too. When something or someone dies - they never truly die as they continue to live in our hearts, souls and minds. They're just no longer 'physically' with us but still very much alive to those that loved and cherished them. As long as there is one person to remember a loved one, that loved one will live on.

    I truly believe that in my heart. It's kept me sane after more losses than I care to remember.
