The last two weeks have been a whirlwind. The pups and I made a trip out to Nebraska to see Sara (my step-daughter) graduate from high school. There are times when I look at the pups and think they are still young and not sick and then I remember that ten years have gone by since they came into my life; nothing sealed the passing time more than seeing Sara graduate. My thoughts of Sara are of this little girl who was shy, reserved, but always full of fun and excitement. On May 9th, I got to see her in a new light, as a woman starting the next phase of her life. She is strong, she is smart and she has the whole world ahead of her. I have moments of jealousy when I look at her, because there are parts of me that wish I could do it all over again; wondering what I would do differently, how it would change the life I lead now. The other moments are filled with hope and joy when I look at her, because I know that she can be anything; this is her moment to shine and I can't wait to watch it unfold.As the time moves on and things continue to change, I still relish each and every moment that I have with the people and pups in my life. The pups are doing well, they enjoyed the trip and we got to spend and entire week just being together. I still worry each day as I look into their eyes; is this the day that you decide to leave, but I try to push those thoughts from my mind and focus the moment. In this moment we are doing well and we are enjoying the day.
Below are some pictures of our trip:
This is Sara at honor's night. she was being recognized for the achievement of receiving a Bronze metal for the score she obtained on her ACT test.
We rented an RV for the trip to Nebraska. Tasha loved the bed right by the window. She could enjoy the entire ride laying on the bed, watching out the window, or snoring the time away.
The pups also enjoyed finally getting to Nebraska and being able to hang out together in the hotel room.
Sara, getting her diploma. I am not sure who is more excited, her or her Dad and I.
