Oh Jan...I am so very sorry, my heart is just breaking. Markus has always been one of my favorites...you know I have that huge soft spot in my heart for our special seniors. I will be thinking of you both and praying for peace for you.
Markus:
Godspeed sweet boy. You know how much your Mom loves you and always will. Please always remember that she is sending you away..not because she does not love you, but because she loves you too much to make you stay. Don't be afraid, Goliath and Baxter and so many others will be waiting there for you to help show you around. Watch over your Mom, this will be very very hard for her and she will need to know that you are now free of pain and in a strong and healthy new body again. We will light our candle to help light your way.
