Hi! While realizing that this subject is very serious and service animals can be of great benefit to those that have them, I just had to giggle.

After one of my many surgeries, my daughter (she lives in S. Ca) told me that she was so glad that grandma (my mother) was with me so that she could be my "helper monkey". Of course it stuck and grand ma has remained the "helper monkey" ever since then.

Just thought you might appreciate the sentiment. Lisa
