Looking For The Light

Late afternoon light filters through pine trees onto a calm stream.

A sign that says "please clean up after your dog." There are icons of a dog and a hand picking up poop on it. Someone has put googly eyes on the dog icon.

We’re just…going on with our lives while we get used to living without our boy, I guess. I’m trying not to rush out and adopt a dog and to actually let myself grieve but it’s hard; the house is awfully empty.

The googly eyes on the sign in Millcreek made me actually laugh, though. And everyone has been so kind–people delivered dinner, sent flowers, wrote sweet notes, cried with us. It’s nice to know everyone loved Toby like we did.
