Jim,
I really do understand and as ive pointed out a few times, people are so self centered and live to make money and thats about as far as they go,
But really speaking you have to get beyound these sort of things and have experienced real love no matter if its for an animal or a human to know whats its like to say good bye to them and know you can't do a single thing about the situation at the time,
It's like trying to count the stars in the sky on a clear night,
Jim" big boys dont cry they just get grit in their eyes or is it more like you loved and only you know those inner feelings that kick in by simple reminders like a tune or maybe the ghost of the past, it's all the same thing its called love.
What you 've said your one wish would be was a very heart felt one and my hat is off to you because i feel the same way.
