Moma and Molly

We've been trying to catch up a little tonight.

We go through stages when we fall behind

Reading and Commenting on our friends' blogs.

That doesn't make us Happy.

But it happens

and

We try hard to make that feel All Right

Understandable

Acceptable

Tonight

As we read

We felt some Comfort.

Actually, a lot of Comfort.

Joy

and

Peace

We saw repeated examples of "Mom and Me" photos

Pictures that followed the suggestion of dear Max and his moma.

And we realized Tonight

is a perfect Night

to Remember

and 

to Share.

You see.

Two years ago today

Moma lost her Sweet Molly.

Her second Wire Fox Terrier.

Molly died peacefully in Moma's arms.

On the Deck.

In the Sun.

She was nearly 16 years old.

And she was a beloved member of the Family.

Moma will always cherish the Memories she has of Sweet Molly.

Sometimes

When Moma reads the pages of notes she jotted down

All the Memories she could think of

All the Words that described Molly best

It is as if she is still here.

In the room.

Sharing Love.

The Memories are just as Vivid

The Love is just as Strong.

Please do what Max and others have suggested.

Take time

to capture photos of yourselves together

and 

Take time

To write down everything

In whatever form

That you can think of 

that is Special.

No matter how little

or seemingly insignificant.

Then

Just as for Moma

Two years later

or

In the case of Sweet Kizzy

Nineteen years later

the Memories will be just as Vivid and Strong

and very very Special in the Future

as they are Today.
