Why does the good news always come with some bad

I had my one year post-transplant check up and biopsy. The good news is that the biopsy were results were great. I am still cancer free and will likely remain that way. I am still experiencing pain in my back and legs and am currently sick with some kind of cold that wants to move into my lungs.

That bad news is that our beloved Cat, Tara, died on Monday, January, 08th. She was such an integral part of our lives that it is hard to imagine what the future holds without her. We are both very torn up about her death, but luckily we were able to be with her at the end and her passing was a very sacred moment. I will cherish that moment forever--knowing that I could comfort her and look into her eyes and tell her that I loved her the moment she died. We then cleaned her up and sat with her for a long while. the rest is private and belongs to Sara, Tara and I.

Love,
JJ
