Tuesday Thoughts...
There
is a certain beauty in preparing and knowing. These fleeting moments
when she has energy and can play are beyond special. I didn't know with
Joey. That Friday she wasn't herself, by Wednesday, she was gone. Had
I known, she would have gotten her Christmas presents early. Things
would have been done so differently. I have been given a special window
with Firecheeks. While it is difficult on so many levels--I am
exceedingly grateful for the time to prepare, to say goodbye and to let
go...
