I wish you would listen to me and understand how hard this has been on me tat without warning you the one person I truly trusted left me. But even after you dumped me you held me near yet no matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop you from drifting away. The thing is I know you are struggling...

so we went to the animal sale where we bought Emma and the Runner ducks.
