Thank you so much for reading, and for leaving such a kind comment! It means a lot.
I definitely have a lot of regrets, but not too many from that time. I was still so young, and there was so much going on, I don’t really blame myself for much of it. Oddly enough the one point of lingering shame from that time is not washing the dogs more. They were suffering, and I could’ve done something about it but didn’t; at least not as much as I should’ve.
You’re welcome to share any regrets you might have as well.
