When I saw the photo, before I read the piece, I was so saddened. Brian and his dog. I though of Julie and her dog, also a yellow lab. When I read your piece, I was filled with joy for Brian, and for Julie too. Those days they had on hikes, on runs, on adventures with their dogs were filled with joy. I'm thankful for that.
Ah, how poignant. I have goosebumps because when I read and was replying to your comment at my blog I suddenly thought about your son's dog and I wondered how it was in its new home. Now, to see this picture and to read the fitting name that Brian gave to his dog, well it is just almost too much. But in a joyful-kind-of-way.
A beautiful pic of your Brian and his dog. It's a gift to see only joy.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you.
