[nagdu] Franklin and retiring

[Tami Jarvis]

Sean,

Oh, that's hard, even when you know it's getting to be time. I still 
find myself second-guessing my decision to go ahead and let Mitzi be 
retired... She's adjusting better than I am! I know how fortunate I am 
to be able to keep her with me and go on enjoying her company. Hope you 
find a good place for Franklin where you can still see him and know how 
he is doing.

Tami

Heidi  watching  me  and  Franklin  work, we  walked   I  knew  I  would  hear  her  say  what  I   didn’t  want  to  hear - that  she  says  its  time  for  Franklin  to  retire.  I  felt  like I wanted  to  stop  breathing,to  make her  take  her  words  back,..
