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.
