Oh THANK YOU so much !!!

I don't know how to transliterate "spaciba" into English (and I'm sure this is not the right spelling) but I would greatly appreciate that, Maria -- I picked up my mahogany box containing Lazar's cremated remains from the Pets Rest animal cemetery yesterday after work, when "an indescribable occurrence" took place in my car ... As I put his wooden urn on the seat next to mine, I could not remove my hand from it for many long moments:

Sitting there in broad daylight with other people around me, some tangible connection I cannot explain passed back & forth between the Spirit of Lazar and my heart ... I heard no audible voice, but it seemed as if God Himself were whispering to my soul, "Candi, you have given Lazar to Me, and I am giving him a whole New Life in his true Forever Home, which is far above & beyond anything you would ever have been able to give him." -- This experience brought me a kind of closure which I cannot find a way to express in mere words.

Happy Russian Easter, Maria (we call it Resurrection Sunday in my family) and may our Lord & Savior hear all your prayers !!!
