God Speed Rosa Parks!

Godspeed Rosa Parks!
  
This insane world of rescue creates a purgatory of sorts for those of us literally standing between life & death.  It’s a great place to stand when LIFE wins. No matter what the sacrifice in time, money, prayers, hope…we never look back and question whether the sacrifice was too high. But when DEATH wins? We question. We cuss the gods. We lose hope. 
  
We fought hard for Rosa Parks. We stood guard between her life and her death and never once considered giving up the fight.  But today, she made it clear to us that she needed to rest, and that her huge heart could no longer hold her broken body together. She went peacefully…with her humans holding her close…reminding her what a good girl she was.
  
It’s hard not to question, to lose hope, or to cuss the gods when such an innocent life can’t be saved. But I have to believe that Rosa Parks, like her namesake, would not want us to spend too much time feeling sorry for ourselves when so many lives are depending on us to keep death from winning the fight.
 
Rosa Parks is a shining example of why we make this our life’s work. She will be missed!
