Mary Ann

Sending you so much love today. 💔

It is, yep! Her full name is Rhys Ann!

Hello, Lila! You are so pretty!!

Black, white, and brown calico cat sitting up.

I'm always happy to make a new friend! And you have a kitty, yes? I have a kitty! Her name is Rhys!

You can't risk that. Go see the doctor!

Go! As a fellow musician, I say go sooner rather than later!

Rhys Ann and I will celebrate! We miss Leah! And we love you!

What an awful thing to say to someone! And so untrue! It's obvious that you dearly love the kids you've worked with!

I get so annoyed when people say things like that, too! Of course you can do this and also, yes, it's hard! Hard things are hard! It's okay to admit that!

Tiffany, I don't actually know you, but I see you and I hear you and I'm sorry. I know it's hard to keep going, but I'm glad you are. I don't know how much a stranger's prayers matter, but I'm praying for you. 💙

Rhys says she loves you and she knows this time will be so much better!! She also wishes you many cozy naps!

I'm glad you're still here, my friend. 💙

Mine is "Come, friends, let us away," from The American President!

Oh, Holly. I'm so sorry. My heart hurts for you and your family and for all of us who love your dad.

Wow, that's a big deal! So proud of you! 💙

I'm so sorry. It's not fair. I'm in your corner, and I know others are as well, but it's not the same as having Leah, I know. Sending love.

I've always pictured saying goodbye to a pet on a cold steel table in a clinical exam room. I'm glad Leah's last moments were comfy and warm and snuggly. Thanks for sharing this sweet picture with us.

I can understand why that's scary! But I don't think you will. I think your love for Leah and her love for you changed you forever. The good things you gained from her influence will still be with you, just as she is still with you. 💙

Agreed!

That is a lovely spot, and the picture of your hand and her paw is precious! I'm certain she knows you won't forget her, just as she could never forget you!

Oh, that sounds like a lovely place for her. 💙

You gave her a wonderful life. She knew she was loved and cared for and safe. And I believe she loved you with her entire heart, too.

You've loved her so well and taken such good care of her, and she's loved you well and taken care of you, too. I'm so sorry, friend. Sending you love and peace and comfort.

Oh, no, Adora. I am so, so sorry. I am heartbroken for you. I'm glad she'll be pain-free, but I know it'll be so hard and painful for you. Love you, friend.

Oh, Holly. Sending love.

She definitely does not think you abandoned her! She knows you better than that.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU LEAH!!

Oh, friend, that is so scary! Praying that doesn't happen, and praying for comfort and peace for you!

Oh, friend, I am so sorry.

If talking or texting with a friend would help, I'm on spring break next week so I'll be free!
