Thank you

Today is the day that we go visit the lake where we used to celebrate K's birthday every year. We've kept that tradition since her death, and now it's a day of remembering K while loving our current Duo.

In my rush to try to "lock down" my photos yesterday, I briefly made every photo in my blog disappear. I completely panicked, which made it incredibly clear how much this blog means to me. Many of my memories of K are tied to the photos and stories about her posted here.

After I fixed the problem and reinstated the photos, I went back to read the the post just after K's death where I received many heartfelt messages from you. The steadfast support of many of you over the years makes this blog even more special to me.

For today, I'm posting just two photos - one of Shyla, the girl who has helped heal my heart.

And a photo of the stars, viewed by my camera over many hours from our campsite last weekend. When I gaze out into the sky, I feel like K is with me. Her spirit is all around me, wrapped up in the beauty of Mother Earth.

Thanks to all of you for your support over these past five years in Blogville!
