Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2009, at the Mattie March. You can see Mattie upfront in the wheelchair, being pushed by Linda (Mattie's child life specialist). It was a very memorable event and we were thankful Mattie's blood counts were high enough to attend and be around so many people. I naturally reflect on this event, as our annual walk is only a week away!
Quote of the day: The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog. ~ M.K. Clinton
In the midst of walk items all over our home and constant work, we have Sunny who forces us to stop what we are doing and enjoy a moment. Of course it is directed at meeting Sunny's needs, but he does get us out of our rut!
This afternoon a colleague of Peter's had a party at her home for the office. Sunny was also included as other dogs were going to be there. We got to see our God daughter, Charlotte as well. Charlotte just turned 1 in February, and she has already grown tremendously since we last saw her.
This is typical of Sunny. If he sees us paying attention to something or someone else, he is immediately on the scene to check it out and get into the mix. Sunny is very gentle and calm around people of all ages, so I never worry he is going to do something naughty. But he is fascinating to watch and we are quite certain if Mattie were alive, he would have LOVED Sunny!
