Re: Remembering Corky with Lots of Love
(((HUGS))) That's a great start in telling us things about Corky....he sure came to a great home from such a lousy beginning. No wonder he always wanted to be near to you two....he was in a very special place and he knew it.
Take care Terri and hope you'll post some more when you can...

Re: Remembering Corky with Lots of Love
My dear, sweet friend,
I know how difficult it was for you to come talk to us about your sweet boy right now.
Today was a magical day for you, Jay and for Corky - it was a day when you all realized just how much you needed each other as a family; a day when you and Jay saw how much this little boy needed you; a day when you both saw how much love that scared little guy had hidden inside.
It was the day Corky came to be; the day he looked into your eyes and knew you were the one who would save him, fight for him, and love him like no one else ever could. He looked deep inside your soul and saw that spot that only he could fill. Corky was drawn to you like a moth to a flame - and the flame of your love filled his little soul to overflowing from that day on, and will continue to do so for all time.
You are such a special lady to so many, Terri. I consider the day we met to be one of those magical days in my life and I love you dearly. You are so strong and brave and always filled with love and laughter. You are a blessing in my life; I can only imagine what joy you brought to Jay and Corky.
You are never alone, Terri. You are surrounded by so much love every second of every day.
Many hugs,
Leslie
Re: Remembering Corky with Lots of Love
Dearest Terri,
I don't know that I can say it any better than Leslie just did. You were always there for so many of us no matter what. How many times did I call you in a panic? And we would talk forever and then end of laughing about things.
Even though I never met Corky I felt I knew him through your posts.
You are the strongest, bravest person I have ever met. Your heart is so large and my own life made so much richer for having you in my corner.
I know it is hard for you now and I hope that pain eases somewhat.
Truly Corky's larger than life spirit was drawn directly from you.
I miss you dear friend and I need you too.
All my love,
addy
Re: Remembering Corky with Lots of Love
Checking in again, dear Teri. I miss all your posts and, of course, Corky belonged to all of us so I miss him too. I hope you are taking care of yourself. Please find some peace in knowing that you are such an important part of the family here and everyone is standing beside you during this difficult time. You know that if there was any way I could change things, I would. But all I can do is send much love and many prayers your way.
Hugs,
Carrol
Re: Remembering Corky with Lots of Love
Thank you my dear friends for all of your very kind words, love, hugs, and prayers.
Thank you for lighting the candle for us Marianne. I saw it when I lit one for Corky.
Leslie and Addy, I feel the same way about you. You can call me anytime Addy.
Thank you for always checking on me Carrol.
All of you have a special place in my life and in my heart.
Re: Remembering Corky with Lots of Love
Sending you huge and loving hugs, my dear friend.
Re: Remembering Corky with Lots of Love
Terri -
I wish I had all kinds of great things to say. Leslie always says such awesome things. I am thinking of you. I remember you handing me strength when I didn't think I could wake up in the morning...you will have my eternal heart.
Many hugs.
Lynne

Terri and Corky
Thanks for being Reggie's earth and guardian angels today. He really needed you and you came through in a big way. Corky always did look out for Reggie so I am not surprised at all that he still is.
Much love and gratitude
Holly and Reggie
Re: Remembering Corky with Lots of Love
I met with Corky's vet yesterday. I wanted to thank him personally for taking such good care of Corky for so many years. We talked about 15 minutes.
Dr. R. told me that Corky's internal organs were shutting down with everything that happened to him in such a short period of time. It wasn't just his kidneys and the internal bleeding. I now have closure knowing that there wasn't anything any of us could have done to help Corky, and that it was a good thing that it happened so quickly. He said that it was a true act of love by letting Corky go in peace.
Dr. R. had such positive things to to say about Corky and me. He also told me that I did a remarkable job in taking care of Corky, and that he didn't know many people that would have done what I did for my little one. As I was getting ready to leave, he gave me a big hug. Dr. R. is a very special, caring vet.
Thank you my dear friends Lori, Lynne, and Holly for the love, hugs, and your very kind words.
