Thank you for your sympathy, Joanie, Shirley, Nancy, Janie, and Deb! Snow Bear was a wonderful boy. It has been hard for my sons, too, because this is their first loss of someone close to them, since their three grandparents who have passed away, did so before they were born, or they were too young to remember. I was worried about my special needs son, so I told him that Snow Bear was an old boy, and that he went to Heaven. I was really happy that my son accepted that. I was also worried about my youngest son, who was particularly close to Snow Bear, but he seems to be doing ok, too. Anyway, thank you all for your positive thoughts for us! (And my Mom died before I got pregnant with my youngest son.)
