I was diagnosed while pregnant and sunk into a deep depression. I was also on suicide watch thinking me and my child would die. With no support from family or friends i turned to God and asked what i had done to deserve this. Months past and i had my baby, and not only was he negative but he was extremely cute lol everyone in the hospital acknowledged him because of his cuteness. i had been blessed and was not alone anymore. Now he is 11 and he loves me to the moon and back.

I lost my St. Bernhard 5 years ago, and I've never come over it.

A beautiful story from a beautiful man. Thank you, Aundaray. Hope and Parker were lovely creatures.

Aundaray, I am so sorry sweetie to hear about the girls. I can't imagine what you and Joel must be going through. My heart breaks for you, and my thoughts linger on my Mamma and what I will feel. xxx Love, Valerie

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story with us. I truly understand how animals make our lives so much more fulfilling. They bring us unconditional love, as you've mentioned. We all know unconditional love is rare to find. I think that's why God created 'pets.' I want to humble myself again and say, Thank you sooooo much...This is deeply touching.

Dear Aundaray, I just read ALL of the comments, mine among them somewhere in the middle, in response to your beautiful and deeply moving reflection on your life with Hope and Parker. I didn't realize until the very end that you had written another message...to all of us who had responded to you from the initial blog posting. What a gift! You wrote that you cried while reading the comments people had left, and so did I by the way, and then even more when I saw and read your follow-up. I just find it a deep comfort to know that we have a community of like-minded and "like-hearted" people all over and around with whom we can share on this personal and significant level. HIV, our dogs, our lives, all seem to intertwine into a common and shared narrative of constructive, forward-looking HOPE. What a wonderful thing it would be if we could all meet one day?!?! I think there would LOTS of joyful crying, hugging, (and maybe even doggies of all sorts) to share a "zest" for the lives and living we have.

Thank you for your loving memories of your 2 furbabies. I too have a couple of dogs. This past summer I had to put Star to sleep. She had congestive heart failure. I, like you, never want to see my babies suffer! Just a personal reminder, if you decide to get new animals, please consider a rescue. Breeders often run "puppy mills." So many puppies need & want to have a forever home. I was given a poem after they put my Star to sleep. The poem is, The Rainbow Bridge. I thank you for your article. It helped me. Now remember to love yourself. Take your meds, drink plenty of water & know your girls are waiting for you, under the Rainbow Bridge. ?

I want to thank each of you who wrote in and shared your story. I cried while reading them as you were communicating my pain and identified with my loss. As a pet owner we start the relationship knowing they have a short time but the reality is still hard to grasp. But most of all I read through your words how each day will be one of joy as I look at the memories of the precious moments I had. So again thank you all for taking the time to leave a note and just know I treasure them all! Stay Positive!
