I was a tatooed mother dove

You're timing couldn't have been more perfect! I needed to read your post about Jake... so thank you for the reminder.

I'm so happy for you - you sound completely at peace.

Please keep writing too - where ever you can - you have a wonderful way with words; refreshing.

Say "hi" to Jake for me.

If you are now going through something difficult, take comfort in knowing that if you forge on ahead, and never lose faith, you will be happy again.

Little lessons from a little friend of mine.

Thanks for that, I'm glad I read your post today. You have a special gift of words TheFormOfaDove.

Even though I never replied to your original post, I recognized your name right away when you posted your update.....I am a moderator and have probably looked at hundreds of posts in the meantime so it means something that I remembered you.

Your original post was very touching and I want to thank you so much for giving us an update......

Best of luck and love to you...............You sound like someone who very much deserves it.

I agree with others your original post really caught my attention. Nice to see you back and doing well.

There is this saying that was told to me by a close friend that has stuck with me. It goes, “ If you are going through hell, keep going.”

Got that right!

If you are now going through something difficult, take comfort in knowing that if you forge on ahead, and never lose faith, you will be happy again.

Faith works through difficult and non-difficult times. Challenge is not getting distracted.

Congrats on your new family and life and Thank You for remembering us at pij.com.

I am so happy to hear that things are going well with you and yours. Thanks for the update. I still remember your little Jake who was with you only four days.

I lost a little female squeaker rescue, Minnie-Coo, who had been with us almost two weeks, a few days ago. In such small packages, these little birds bring so much to us.

Wow. I missed your story the first time around, but saw it today because of your update. The timing is good because I'm feeling down about the loss of my special dove. Thank you for reminding me that what they give us is so much greater than what they take when they leave. Bless you.
