Today I find myself much like a hermit crab, 

short of breath and not wanting to leave my shell. 

I lay in bed and trace my eyes along my clear oxygen tubing that's keeping me alive. 

I breathe deeply and remember this is only temporary - well, I pray it is. 

Even the bravest have the greatest of fears but it doesn't stop them from 

moving in the direction they were destined to walk upon. 

Listening to Ben Howard's 'promise', It makes me feel serenity and relaxed,

It's times like this that you realise the most beautiful, simple things in life.

Hope.

We've had her for approximately 5 weeks and she is in total 12 weeks old.
I was wanting a dog for ages because sometimes we just need someone or something to be there for us in life's obstacles and ebbs- not to fix anything or do anything in particular, just be simply be there and that's exactly what she does for me. Happy days with my 900 gram beautiful little girl.

My disease progresses, advances, kills but the will to live will always outweigh the ability to die.For when there is darkness, look for the stars, when there is rain, search for the rainbow.
