Hello,
Wow, we had the most beautiful sun drenched Thursday.
So happy that Alvin and I were able to enjoy it with a walk and the mowing of our backyard.
Happy Friday the 13th.
I believe it is going to be a great day.
My youngest brother was born on Friday the 13th in January many moons ago.
As the past couple of weeks have ALL about my boy, I thought that I would share a poem that I wrote to him on our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of being together.
ALVIN,
You came into my life almost a year ago ..
You were small, needy and unwell..
You made me feel anxious and sad,
Helpless and mad.
But then one day … the veil lifted.
I fell in love with YOU.
Loving your dog is unlike the love you have for a child, friend or sibling.
It is unconditional.
No strings attached.
No arguments or compliments
The view is one-sided
Or perhaps it is not.
But the feelings are felt.
It is true and inspiring.
You have taught me patience.
To be more loving.
You came into my life late one night.
Almost one year ago.
An idea not conceived thoroughly
But yet ….. it was …
You are where you are supposed to be.
Lucky ME.
I am blessed to have you in my life.
We are joined at the hip (sometimes at the foot) LOL.
But nonetheless we are joined.
I love you Alvin.
You bring me great joy.
Continual amazement.
I know that you understand me.
Each word ….. even when you tilt your head to the side.
I know you know….
Thank you so much…..
Love
Always, Your “Mom”
Written on our first Anniversary together … January 19, 2011.
WIth kindness and respect the days are happier.
Always, Carol & Alvin
