I just sat down and wrote out Veronica's card....signed it with lots of love from Pete and I, all the animals (9 dogs, 6 cats and Henrietta the Hen) and silly drawings. I went in search of her NY zip code, got out my address book and opened it up to a hand drawn note (from Veronica) of bubble letters that reads: I LOVE YOU.

Why doesn't someone just rip my heart out of my body, throw it on the floor and dance on it?

:(   :(   :(

I give up and am calling it a day.
