A flower and memories

Like so many things in our natural world, these flowers bring back a flood of memories.

About nine years ago, our yellow Lab was nearing the end of a battle with cancer. These flowers were blooming, and he managed to pull me hard enough to eat one of them!

Dogs have the most incredible hearts, living each day to its fullest for as long as they possibly can. Within a week after pulling me to eat a flower, he was gone.
I miss Angel S but I'm glad that a flower makes me remember him.

    your angel was so beautiful, not matter how long in the past we always have fond memories of our angels... we spend lots of time talking about Max, Baby and Cooper, our angels. little things bring back big fond memories like your flower did. every time we see wild ducks, we think of Max walking around the corner of the house with a duck hanging out each side of his mouth. he was a hunter.

    Angel S surely knew how to appreciate all the beautiful things around him...which he, no doubt, learned from you.
    Hugs madi and mom

    What a special memory. I'm so glad your Angel S was able to live his life to the fullest right close to the end. We never stop missing them, do we? ♥
