We moved back to De. Luke misses Nathalie so much. She was the best for Luke and Me. My partner was suffering with throat cancer and Luke had never been with anyone except family. It was hard to trust anyone but needed to go to BY everyday for chemo and radiation couldn t take dog and needed someone to walk him from our hotel. I just can t put into words how she helped us. An amazing caring person. I tried to arrange a walk in De a few days ago but couldn t find a person I liked. I just took him with us. I wish she lived in De.
