[Gpdd] [BRIDGE] Thank you for the support about Wallie

[Ginger Hoffman]

Dear All,

thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind emails.  I know you 
all understand, and I know that some of you are going through the same 
thing I am right now.  I hope that Wallie and Wilson and Sully have met 
and started frolicking together over the bridge.  And I know they will 
become friends with all the other wonderful GPDD "masters" who are 
there now.

I described how hard my decision was, and all of your replies have 
helped me tremendously.  I will be responding to you individually soon. 
  Things have been building up when I was tending to Wallie (even though 
it was just a few days!) and I'm overwhelmed with errands and such.  In 
some ways, today was harder than yesterday.  It was hard to participate 
in the real world and not have every single person I encountered pay a 
tribute to Wallie (receptionists, other drivers, etc.).  Of course they 
didn't know about him, but I felt like the whole world should be 
mourning.  I know it's going to take me a very very long time to not 
spontaneously burst into tears, and I hope that others around me 
understand how hard it is to lose a piggie.  At least I know that all 
of you do.  He was my very first piggie and I love him so much.

All the very best to you--especially those who are recently grieving 
and those who are not-so-recently grieving.

A tribute to Wal-wal is coming.

Warmly,
Ginger
