I took in 2 female gliders back in late February. The lady was no longer able to spend much time with them, so hearing from others that I am a great suggie mom, she drove over 7 hours to bring them to me. The girls have been doing absolutely great! When she gave them to me, I told her I would continue to send lots of pictures of the girls to her and she could email me or call anytime.

Well, this morning a received a text message. It was from one of her friends. The lady I got the gliders from had some complications from surgery and is doing really bad. They are moving her to hospice from the hospital and she is not expected to live. I was literally heartbroken. The text message was very sweet, thanking me for taking in the girls and providing them with such a loving home. I have been crying off and on all morning. I took a lot of pictures of the girls and sent them via text so she could have piece of mind that they are still doing great.

I apologize if this is a bit of rambling and doesn't make much sense.

I'm sure she is happy the girls are in s great home and that's one thing she does not have to worry about.

I'm so sorry for the whole situation. I'm sure she's glad the babies are in good hands and I'm glad they have you.

I'll send prayers her way and hope that when her time comes it's a peaceful passing.

Thanks all. Yes, I do agree that at least the gliders are one thing she doesn't have to worry about. They are extremely happy and very well adjusted.

I just found out that Ann passed away the same day I got the news. Luckily, I got a lot of pics of the girls sent via cell phone, so I am hoping she was able to see them.

Life is like that isnt it. I took in three from Susan a bit before she passed from cancer. She participated a lot here back then. We still miss her.

You gave Ann what she needed by taking in her animals.

The end of the text message her friend sent me said God Knew. I will still be sending pics to her friend to show her how the girls are doing. I truly do feel that we were meant to take in the girls. Thanks to all for your comments.
