We will up date these pages from time to time as her life unfolds. I believe she has some wonderful things to add to her story just around the corner. Daffy and I have another thank you. To my husband Matt who was tremendously loving, supportive, and giving. For many weeks he helped with numerous tasks that typically are not on his honey-do list. He was tender when my emotions were raw and the weeks of no sleep were taking their toll. He was in Daffy's corner when I wasn't sure if we could continue. I needed him to be there. He "puppy sat". So I could nap or do some shopping. In the beginning giving Daffy a bottle was no easy task. In the early weeks it could take 20 min. for 5 ml of formula every hour. So puppy sitting was a commitment.
Many have asked me if I would do it again? Most definitely yes for Daffy....would I do it again for another? Let me say I hope we never have to cross that bridge. This event in our lives has been a blessing. I know many ask how? Trials don't come easy, not even small ones involving a tiny puppy and not all blessings do either. Most blessings come through and after trials. Has the Lord grown me through Daffy's journey? That answer is most definitely yes, and in many ways. The Lord is good. He showed me much about myself and my own health struggles. Even this Dercum's disease that I deal with daily, is Father filtered. Meaning God has allowed it to be part of my life to be used to my benefit. We live in a world that is cursed and until glory there will be unpleasant trials and illness. The Lord promises to carry us through, if we trust in Him...... I know there are many ways the Lord has used this time for my benefit (like most events in our lives). Some ways may not have been revealed yet. God's timing is always perfect. Well that's the short version of an on going journey. Come back and visit.....ok?
