This week my wife and I said goodbye to one of our babies. Maddie had just hit 17 years old on Monday and left us on Thursday. It was heartbreaking as we watched her slowly decline over the last year and about a month ago she things took a turn. She was my constant companion over the last four years of divorce, depression, loneliness, and then the joy of a new marriage. My new wife took such good care of her in her very, very elderly years, treating her with kindness and love as the days got harder and harder.
She will be missed dearly every day, but I am glad of the time we had with her and the love she gave us. Love you, Maddie, and thank you for everything over the last 17 years.
