It's been a pretty sucky year for sure. In July I lost my cat Merlin who was my best friend for 22 years...4 days later my dad passed away. Now this...And that's not even to mention holiday cancellations, pay reductions and all the stuff around corona-chan...Yep, I'm done with 2020.

Faith and I have been together for 33 years and have been through a lot, but we do it together and support each other as required. It's the only way. You hit the nail on the head with the keep strong and a smile on my face comment as every time I see Faith my heart breaks and I want to hit something. I quell it though, as best I can, and turn my energy towards something more productive, or at the very least, something not negative.

I really appreciate your words, taking the time to write them. Many hivers display such quality of personality and it helps. I'm sorry about Pepper, that is so difficult to accept. I was devastated to lose Merlin, it still breaks me down.
