Thank You Family and Friends

I called my sister and mother when we discovered Patch. Then I started calling friends, Autumn offered help from her husband Vince. I declined, she insisted and said they were coming right over. My husband suggested I take the baby to McDonald's while Patch was removed, our dear friend Dennis was already in the backyard. Autumn told Rita who said that McDonald's was not acceptable, she would meet us at her house. I called Sierra and told her where we would be, Bill had told me how hard she was taking it. When Rey and I pulled up to the Jackson's Mike ( husband) and Nick (son) were very kind to make us feel at home. Mike left to help Bill. Sierra arrived with a puffy face. Autumn came when she completed her job on the recovery crew, thanks. All three families eventually gathered, ordered pizza and pasta. I am so blessed that my friends understood better than I did that we needed to get out...My mom and sister loved him so much. My mom would take him on long walks in the Meadows every time she visited. Marvine put up with me bringing him to every family function at her house, I was crazy, thank you. Marvine offered to come out but I thought that it would be a risk with the big storm we are expecting, thanks....I got a text from a friend Kerry that was very sweet... Telling Bill's sister Jeanne who lives in town will be hard, she loved Patches (she drove me nuts adding -es to his name). We have decided to cremate him and spread the ashes in the garden next spring.
