You are such a strong woman and your attitude is so positive! I too believe God does know what's best for us and gives us what we need when we need it. Being an animal lover I know just how much comfort and companionship they can be. Ms. Kitty came into your life when you needed her the most! I do hope you decide to keep her since she sure seems to love you already. Quilting also helped me to recover from injuries I sustained in our motorcycle accident May 2009. All of the PT in the world didn't do what quilting did for my hand and arm. I believe I have the movement in my hand due to hand quilting and am so thankful I'm still able to do what I love.....quilt and love my pets.
