i miss you so much SADDI
SADDI cries
When Devon left the other day for a visit back to China, as he closed the door, i could hear SADDI crying, as she did anytime either of us left (even if it was just to go get the mail). SADDI would then walk around the house, crying. Every little noise captured her attention as she waited for everyone to be home again with her
remembering SADDI
No matter what was happening then ...
and what is happening now ...
remembering this beautiful smile
gives me a pause
for my own smile. i love you SADDI
Throwback Thursday
i've been thinking about Thanksgiving 2001 lately. It was the first year that it was just SADDI and i. My entire family wanted nothing to do with me because of their issues with me being gay. i finally had the courage to kick out an abusive partner, after 4 years (he had come over the night before Thanksgiving to pick up his stuff, leaving behind everything i had given him).
So SADDI and i spent the extremely rainy day alone together. Instead of feeling lonely and depressed, i actually felt free of the negatives i had held onto for too long.
Since it was just the two of us, unable to go out because of the day long down pour, we shared an egg sandwich, cuddled and played.
i got down on all fours, SADDI would crawl under me, then lift her body up, pressing her back against my belly, while looking at me with her beautiful precious smile.
It was that day that i truly appreciated being thankful for what i had.
Squirrel Friends
Our backyard was quite popular this morning after i shared some sunflower seeds and bread with our neighbors. At one time i counted 7 squirrels enjoying the treats.
This is Tripod, our very special and friendly neighbor.
She (we think) got her name because she only has three pws
She will come up on the porch, when we're outside,
and yell at us until we get her some food.
