My Uncle Rick sadly lost his battle with leukemia last night. He fought hard for two years. His wife Carol is an animal lover but they have not had any pets for a few years because of their health problems. I decided to bring Rapunzel over to see her today. She cuddled her and cried with her and even smiled a few times, she sat on Aunt Carol’s lap for half an hour while she petted her and fed her carrots. She said it was just what she needed today as she waited to meet with the funeral home to make arrangements. The human-animal bond is so amazing. Rapunzel and I also visited a cancer treatment center today in honor of Uncle Rick.

Oh that’s lovely! Never under estimate the benefits of pet therapy.
What a lovely idea to take her to the treatment centre too! And well done Rapunzel for being so cute and adorable x
 
Sorry to hear about your uncle, but so glad Rapunzel is such a comfort to everyone! She's a very special piggy and you are a very special person for sharing all Rapunzel's piggy love with people who need it most :)
 
So sorry you lost your Uncle Rick, Rapunzel and you make such a great team giving a respite from gruelling treatment x

Thank you
 
So sorry to hear about your Uncles passing, sending love to you and your Aunt. Rapunzel is such a lovely girl x
 
I'm really sorry to hear this and glad that, as usual, Rapunzel brought a little joy to light up a dark place.

Was this the same hospital, or does Rapunzel's pass get her into any health establishment!

Same hospital, she is allowed in all of the hospitals, but I have to go through each of their volunteer trainings and background checks. So I usually stick with the one, but there are 3 locations I can got to. I’m sure they brag to the other hospitals that they have Rapunzel!
 
So sorry to hear about your uncle. My thoughts are with you and your family.
So lovely the Rapunzel could provide comfort for your aunt at such a sad time. xx
