We all live with regret on a daily basis especially if we have kids. I regret not spending enough time with Ashley or too much time with her thinking I am spoiling her. I regret being on the phone if she is around or not teaching her constantly. It doesn't seem to stop when you are a parent but it is true...you have to listen to your insticnt and do what seems right or else we will be second guessing ourselves constantly and who wants to live like that. I am sure you made the right decsion for you at the time regarding your treatment. And if something changes down the road, you will face another decsion based on your gut feeling. I am sure little Molly will be missed and even though she may have lived longer with someone else, she may not have had as much fun as she had with all of you. Now how many hampsters can say they got to stay in a purse. She had a happy life although short. Take care and I hope to read more of your writings. Love Summer Franny,
