Diana, my son Michael had a hedgehog when he has in high school. Not something you can cuddle, but very interesting to watch, lol! I can SO sympathize with you about Glen
Mike retired 2 years ago, and we are together 24/7. Now that the kids/grandkids have moved away, it's just us. Some days are REALLY hard, but others are really fun. Marriage is just tough, no matter how many years you practice!
I'm so anxious to hear how Janet's mom is. Both of my parents had a stroke that led to their death, and my brother had a stroke at 57. In my opinion, they are way worse that a heart attack.
