Reeva,
Thank you for your loving, very warm and sensitive reply. Yes, we're very
sad about Fabian today. He's brightened just a little as the day has gone
on but has only moved around a couple of times alone, with pain.
I expect that he is going to receive some help from the medication and will
go again, for a little while, so this pain is really beginning now, not
ending. I want to enjoy my last times with him too. He's my fourth and
will be my final guide. I can't walk well enough to have another though I
walk my husband's just a short distance.
Anyway, thanks, I'll keep you all posted.
Love in Jesus:
--
Carol
