EXTRA!!! EXTRA!!! READ ALL ABOUT IT

22 years

22 years ago today, my life was forever altered in the most beautiful way.  On this day, 22 years ago, SADDI walked across a yard, seeing me for the very first time, sat on my foot, place her head on my leg, looking up at me.  When i picked her up, she snuggled her head against my neck and i realized that i had been picked.  As days passed, i realized that i had actually been rescued.  In our 13.5 years together, we had our difficult days, but they were always overshadowed by the strong beautiful bond SADDI and i share..  Our life together was simple, but many moments i cherish within my heart. Moments, that even nearly 9 years since SADDI has been gone, make me smile.   One that always gets to me, i use to squish SADDI's face between my hands and slowly rock her head back and forth.  When i released, she was giving me that big beautiful smile. Oh how i need that smile everyday now.  But how truly blessed i am to have the memories.  To have known such love and friendship.  How honored i am to have been taught, by SADDI, on how to be a better human.  Even today, SADDI visits me in my dreams.  They're so real that i don't want to wake up.  Because when i do wake up, i have to return to the reality that another day without SADDI has begun.
