I think you just put many of my feelings about the loss of my youngest sister so many years ago into perfect words. Some wounds, I think, never really heal; we just grow accustomed to that vacant space in our hearts. No one can fill my sister's spot in my heart, and I suspect no one (or no pet) will ever fill K's spot in Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-60068263286513033892012-09-18T20:03:39.478-06:002012-09-18T20:03:39.478-06:00Our son's family in Evergreen are hearing the ...Our son's family in Evergreen are hearing the elk bugle sometimes from their yard!
