DUB IS THAT YOU?
Today was a wierd day. We spent the day looking at places and we think we found the perfect one but Im not going to talk about it because I dont wanna jinx it. But after ward it was such a nice day that on the highway on the way home my husband decided to keep going and drive to Miami randomly, at 5pm in traffic, with JJ in the car who was already annoyed from being dragged around all day looking at houses. Oops ok let me rewind back to last night before I contenue this story. Ive been sick for 3 days straight with a stomach flu and once I was feeling better I started to get hives from god knows what, stress maybe??? Anyways while I was sick it was quite an emotional expiriance for me as well because I was getting fevers and tremours and all I could think of was my poor little dub and what he went through half his life. So I would cry and shake and go to the toilet. It was intenese to say the least. So today was the first day Ive felt good enough to keep food down and conduct my day, but like I said I needed to take benedryl for my hives. So it put me in a coma sleep quickly (as it did dub before he get's blood products..) and I guess my husband had a very hard night, he said he cried for 2 hours in the next room begging DUB to give him a sign that he is alright. As I was for the past 3 days as well on and off. So on this drive to Miami, we get into the downtown core, which is pretty scary actually. Its a nice city but the vibers are scary and feel unsafe. We both looked at eachother ( my husband and I) and said why did come here again? "OH WE NEED GAS" my husband said. So we pull up to a gas station, It was HOTTTTTT!!!!! and as we were about to stop I noticed a little grey thing under a car at the pump. I din't see it get there, I dont even know how it ggot there. So I said babe is that a kitty? He stopped I ran over to the car and the woman was about to take off and run over the cat,I grabbed her. She was sooo frail, I happened to have cat food in my trunk, because we have our cat here.... I nussled this little sick, frail (like i mean no meat on her bones frail), into my lap, with a bowl of food. She ate like she hadn't eaten in months. I don't even know how she got there. there was no bushes around. I didn't see her run from any where. I didn't even know if she could walk, but she was there under a car about to take off over her, at the gas pump in the sweltering heat. The poor little thing. We named ner MIAMI as we started to drive she gobbled food like she hadn't eaten in months and after she was done eating she curled up in my lap. Her spine sticking out soo much it was like a little kitty skelaton in my lap. I was crying. This poor little kitty.What happened to her?Was she a gift from DUB?? We drove her to the Emergancy Vet Hospital and waited in the waiting room. The dr let us in and told us she is very sick. If we even want to bother (like if we want to pay) he will do a CBC and cultures (wierd?) and some other tests and find out whats going on with her. So we said of course and we left her and came back to our hotel awaiting the call from the VET. He called 2 hours later and told us that she basiclly is very sick and that if we didn't bring her in tonight she wouldn't have made it another day. The tests shoed she had everything a cat could have but LEUKEMIA and rabies of course. She had 7 different types of worms eating her from the inside, mange, mites, malnoureshment and there is a 60/40 chance she will make it through the night, if she does she will come home to us on several different medications including DEXAMETHISONE (trippy). And now we will nurse her back to health. They were all shocked of course that someone would even do this for a cat because everything would cost 1000 dollars. They said people don't just do that for cats. Ya well were not normal people my husband told the vet. So tommorrow we pick up Miss Miami from the hospital and begin day 1 of nursing her back to heealth. If she is a gift from DUB she will be chasing salamanders in no time alongside. TWITCH, MINNIE, CAMINO, TUDDLES AND BIGGIE.. Welcome to the family Little Miss Miami... You are safe with us.. Dub was that you????

That's a beautiful thing what you and your husband did. You have no end to your compassion and willingness to help others. You don't see that much these days. Good for you.
Codi you and are your husband are amazing individuals. Inspirational to say the least. I wish I had something to say that could ease the pain, the heart ache you must feel daily but we both know thats not possible. I kept myself up to date after learning of Dub through face book what seems like forever ago and my heart broke and I cried harder than I have since my grandfather passed away 12 years ago when I learnt of his passing. I have continued to read both your blog and your husbands but have been unable to come up with anything to say. I have never met your family nor Dub but oh how I wish I had, your son was beautiful and the sparkle in his eye I believe is now what is seen in the sky, the warm wind you feel blowing across your face is like a soft embrace. You are an unbelievably strong woman, and although you probably want to crumble you truly havent. Dont stop fighting for yourself, your husband for JJ or for Dub. I came across this poem by an unknown author and it just seemed kind of fitting.
The Cord
We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

Anyway I guess I am rambling, but please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and in my heart. Keep faith and be observant of the signs they will keep you strong.
With lots of love and hugs,
Samantha
