Hello Sue, your "Ricky" is gone but forever a part of your heart and soul. You took the best of care with Rick. Over and beyond what most folks could endure. His hospitalization final assisted you in the placement of Rick in Azura which gave him the best of care. Both for Rick and you.
Wonder if you will now take a minute to yourself? Doubt it. The world keeps moving in the right direction with folks like you in it.
Take a deep breath in a bit and cry your heart out. It really does help.
Take care tiny Sue. Even though Rick did a bit of shrinking he was still a big guy next to your petite frame.
Have a cold one for Rick, full strength. He would like that.
Sending a hug to you.
When you are up for it give me a call.
Love, Pauline.
