We texted a lot for the next few weeks. He told me all about helping out at the shelter, and I explained about my appointments, and when the surgery was scheduled. It was so nice to have someone outside of my family listen to me about this stuff. He completely understood and held no judgement, it had been forever since anyone did that for me before.

When the day of my surgery arrived, he even showed up at the hospital to show is support. I was so surprised, but grateful. Folly is a great big sister and I’m grateful she came with me, but having Cobbler there reaffirmed for me that I was taking the right steps.
