My parents sent me some pics of the family, my dog seems as old as ever lol. I remember when i left that she already had some difficulties to move her ass when she was in her bed lol, but i miss her.
And on a special note for the last entry of Lisa: what you wrote about your father was absolutely beautiful and so sad, and i have no idea of what to tell you to make you feel better, because there is no way for trying to feel what you feel. Actually, you should always think about your father that way, even if that makes you feel sad. I may be an atheist and have different opinions about Heaven, but i do think your father is still connected to you in some way, and he knows what you live.
