Hairball

Stephanie's been really sick lately. Coughing, sneezing, everything.

I've been so worried.

The doctors think she has the flu or something, but I know better.

Stephanie has a massive hairball that she can't get out.

I've been trying to get right up in her face to offer support and encouragement, to let her know that she does not fight this battle alone. I've got many years hairball fighting experience. In fact, I've seen quite a few dandies through to completion.

But Stephanie just pushes me away, as if I have nothing to offer.

We'll get through this together, Stephanie, and grow stronger! And when you spit out that hairball eventually, I'll be the first one there to congratulate you!
