prayers for a special loss
Jun 1^st, 2008 at 10:36am

Lisa has a friend that she met on an asthma support group. She was born premature and totally blind. She continues to overcome these obstacles and last year graduated prelaw from U of Maryland. She was also asked to be one of the speakers at graduation. Needless to say, she is a special young lady and a real role modle for people with disabilities.

Last week her very best friend, her golden retreiver guide dog Stoney died from Cancer. We all know the pain of losing our pets but I just can't imagine what it's like to lose an animal with such an important function in life. She has a new 2 yr old dog and is adapting although it hasn't been easy. Please keep Olivia in your prayers as she copes with this loss and this new turn in her life.

Charlotte

Good vibes on their way from San Diego. My husband has been losing his vision due to Macular Degeneration. We don’t have the guide dog yet... but I understand that must be a very special bond.

I really appreciate all of the prayers and vibes. Olivia has overcome so much, she will get through this too. I look at guide dogs in a very different way now, knowing just how special they are and how hard the training is to get them to be the way they are. Kris, if you want any information I am sure Olivia could help you. I am so sorry to hear about your husband's condition. She is such an advocate and involved in a support group for blind people. Thanks again!!!

Charlotte
