“How did it get so late so soon?...”

Another minute, another day, another year… Gone… Like a bolt of lightening or a whistling wind, life’s changing so fast… My little girl is growing and transforming in ways I never dreamed possible…

“It’s night before its afternoon…”

Happy happy birthday my beautiful angel… We will have our annual day of pumpkin picking today… It will be so different this year compared to last because you are so much bigger and more aware… What a great idea it was for us to make this our tradition on your birthday… Afterward we will go out to dinner to celebrate you and all that you are… I’m sure you will thrive off being the center of attention… (No idea where you get that from, ahem)…

I hope you have a wonderful day and that all your little two year old hopes and dreams come true… If Dad and I have anything to do with it, they certainly will…

We love you more than birdies love the sky…

“December is here before its June…”

Mimi came to visit last week and we had our usual great time with her… You two are pals and every time we see her I get to watch two kindred souls flourish in each others presence… It’s the best thing I have ever witnessed in my life… Well one of the best things… There are many amazing moments in this life since you have become a part of it… As wonderful as it is to see her, it’s equally as devastating to say goodbye… Especially this time because now you feel it too… “I hold you, I hold you” you repeated over and over as she got out of the car at the airport to fly home… That’s your way of trying to keep someone close to you... It rips my heart apart… I’m sure it does the same to Mimi…  

Until next time Mimi… We love and miss you and Papa every single day!!

“My goodness how the time has flewn…”

On a sadder note, Aunt Liz had a devastating day yesterday… She lost her sweet Molly girl very suddenly and unexpectedly… Molly was the first animal you loved and who seemed to love you too… She was a very special cat who had personality way beyond her years… She did things that most cats simply don’t do… She will always have a soft spot in my heart for playing with my baby and being a gentle kind soul to a little girl so full of wonder…

R.I.P Mollz…

You brought great joy and happiness to my dear friend… Although your life was way too short, you taught many people in that little amount of time what the heart of a cat can do for your life… Please tell Mako and Maci that I’ll be looking for them at the Rainbow Bridge…
