Aw, Leen. I remember the struggles and ups and downs you went through when you first got Timmy, and how it just seemed like everything worked out the way it did because Timmy was supposed to be with you. I still believe that he was, even if it wasn't for the rest of his life. I certainly don't think he could have been with anyone who loved him more or treated him better. Just like there was a reason he was brought into your life, there was a reason you were brought into his, and another reason for it to come to an end.
