Attached is a picture of my son with a little rescue dog we had for a while years ago.
I generally am a very bad photographer, so it was a pleasant surprise when this picture turned out nicely.
My son is now almost eighteen years old ... and the the last four years have been terrribly difficult. Tomorrow morning he leaves after Christmas to go back across the state, where he is in a juvenile drug and alcohol treatment facility.
I guess I'm feeling a little sad tonight, and missing my little boy.
Thanks for listening.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
