What a wonderful opportunity to say good bye somewhat on your terms. I hope it's a formal process for you guys in the sense that whether Willow has days weeks or months left, that you guys say those special things, cry those grateful tears, and enjoy that chill down your spine when she does that really cute thing and it flashes you back to earlier days and memories.

The most wonderful thing I learned from saying good bye to my friend Rory is that every minute spent saying good bye is creating the most special memories of them all.

Trust Me lol

Thank you for sharing your journey with us ShazzieB
