Hillary,
I read those threads again because it seems like ages since you first arrived. I have tears of joy streaming down my face for you and Maui! What was so great was your determination. Once you got information, you loaded both barrels and came out shootin' on Maui's behalf. I was so impressed! You have been a terrific bean for Maui and I just couldn't be happier to share in this celebration. I know what an important milestone it is.
Your support for other folks on this board and for the newbies who arrive here, is so important. You make such a difference and you've paid it forward in a big way. I know you've probably saved many kitties from some of the same experiences you and Maui nearly went through. That's such a big thing to do!
Thanks, also, for your kind words when Calliope went to the bridge. I picked her up today and she is home, now. I know she is celebrating Maui's milestone, as well.
