16. Hi Kate!

I am sorry about your breast cancer and mastectomy. I know some who have gone through it and the recovery is as tough mentally as it is physically. I am happy to hear you have quite a crew to rely on for support--Molly, Fergie, and Coco. Our pets are wonderful sources of love and support. I understand dogs--we have standard poodles, but the parrot! Wow! Does she talk?
One of my friends that went through the surgery later had some beautiful tattoo work done. I'm sure you've heard of this already and have your own plans to face outwards after such a trauma.
My poodles and I are sending some love.
