The Family

“The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.”

"Big Chief Little Dog"

Our old dog died today. He would have been 14 in December.

The girls are content with the idea L.D. is in heaven now. After we said our goodbyes, Mark started to fill in the dirt and Caroline says to Addison, "That's just his body, Addie. The real L.D. is in heaven."

Kids are definitely given to us to learn from.

Good dog, L.D.

    Awww, so sweet. I buried six dead kittens in my backyard when I was 10...just as the nearby church bells rang. RIP, LD. Good dog!
