Probably most of you know that I wanted Rocky to be my kitty but that isn't going to happen. I am in "it" up to my eyebrows, and I have nothing else to offer. I will still be lurking and praying. I hope that the next time I check in, it will be all happy news. Otherwise, I love you all. I hope to be able someday to be a part of the solution--instead of the problem

I have to go away for a while...

Shelley just because you are unable to take Rocky doesn't mean you should leave. Life happens to the best planner in the world. You have to take care of your family. To walk away from a group of people that support you and are here to help you through difficult times seems a bit extreme. Your husband is ill and you will need support. Not taking Rocky doesn't mean you aren't a valued member. You should come to those that care about you for support--that is the group of people that have come to care about you here at TDK.
Certainly you are Not a part of any problem!

Shelley, just what Sox'sMom said. It is sad that you can't take Rocky but your husband's health has to come first. These things happen. Please don't overreact. We will miss you if you disappear, for however long, and goodness knows, we have lost enough people.
I wish people thinking of leaving would reflect for a moment and realise that a) we are your friends, what kind of friends would we be if we couldn't make an effort to understand your situation and b) when you leave, you may think you're bowing out gracefully but you're actually punishing those of us left behind, who will MISS you.
Please stay. {{{HUGS}}}

No reason to leave, Shelley. Your offer to take Rocky came from your heart and before you knew that it might jeopardize your hubby's health. No one wants you to do anything that would harm your hubby! You are a good woman. Please stay. :)

PLEASE don't think yourself as the problem, I can't imagine anyone here thinks that of you.

Shelly, stop and think, you are mourning not just being unable to take Rocky and have him as your furbaby; you are grieving about your husband's health and grieving because this situation is frightening because it so very much affects your sense of security, your hopes for the future with your husband, and all such related issues. Right now you are grieving so much more than not bringing Rocky home.
Punishing yourself in any emotional way whatsoever is neither fair to you, to your husband and family, or to your friends. Surely you need not punish yourself so.
It is okay to grieve, be scared, feel forlorn. But from what I've read here on the forum, albeit I'm new here and don't really know the group yet, you need not blame yourself in any way nor cut yourself off from friends and support.
You obviously have many dear friends here and I hope you will stay in touch with them and accept their support and understanding. God bless.

Shelley, you are a valued friend here and we would miss you so very much. We have laughed, cried, felt scared for you when you were dealing with your son's accident, we were oh so happy when you married your wonderful loving husband, we surely know how important his health is to you and the family. Yes you were happy with the thought of having Rocky join your family, but it just can't be right now and we all understand that. I hope that you will stay with us, your cyber family....bless you and yours.

Shelley, please, please do not feel bad about Rocky. Your husband and his health comes first. This is not your fault. I am very sorry to hear about your husband. I did not know he is sick. You are a very kind and generous person. You donated to Sarah's chip in and I am very grateful for that. I know you meant well, wanting to take Rocky. Please do not stop posting just because you can't take Rocky. That is just so unnecessary. You would be very much missed by a lot of TDK members, including me. Rocky will be just fine. We are not going to put him out on the streets. We will just keep on trying to find him a home. Every thing happens for a reason Shelley, so please don't worry about it. You just take care of your husband and yourself.

Shelley, please don't go away, not being able to take Rocky doesn't preclude you from this group. Tom's health is important to you and therefore to us, your family. Please stay, we'll be here when you need us.

Shelley, I didn't see your post yesterday but I have to agree with the others - please don't leave! Tom's health comes before everything, of course. And Rocky will find the right home at the right time. I'm just thankful that you found out about Tom's condition before you actually brought Rocky all the way up from Texas. We certainly don't want to lose you, so please check back in with us from time to time. After all, your wedding was one of the best things of the year for the TDK family!
