This has been a hard week for us. Blue has not been found, and we haves missed him in many ways. Those of you who have had pets die know what we are going through. Blue is probably our last pet, so that makes it even harder for us, and it was so unexpected. Cats are quirky, but Blue did not "take off" like some cats do.
Ron had physical therapy today. One of the walls is all mirror, and it was really the first time that he had had a full body look at how his body has changed and how he has aged through this recovery. It was hard for him.
So as Matt, one of Ron's PAs when Ron was going through chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia, would tell Ron, "You will have peaks and valleys...bumps in the road." We have been in a valley this week. We have had sadness that can physically make your heart ache. It is a dark place, but both of us are fighters and planners, so we have our calendars out and look ahead at what we must do and also to plan some things that we want to do. We were lucky to have had Blue for 12 years. He was a kitten that I rescued after he and his litter mates were dumped on a side road. Then out of the blue, he left us as abruptly as he entered our lives. Maybe someone else has taken him in, and he has once again been rescued. I would like to think that is true.

The emotional changes both physically & mentally during a prolonged illness are both depressing & strengthening if that is possible. Just keep that goal in front of you & you will both persevere. Ups & downs are expected but the comfort & strength from family & friends will keep you going. Always in our prayers. Love & hugs, Ann & Bob
