It’s a day that does not show up every year. Leap day 2012. February 29, 2012.
I’m especially vigilant about my son’s dog today. He’s old and has been slowing down for the last 9 months.
The dog was a gift to my son but I’m the lucky beneficary to his dog’s presence because it was not feasible for my son to take physical control of him.
Your dog (and mine) is up and down with his health. Last week he did not make eye contact with me and could not control his bodily functions. This week he’s been more engaged with life and today gave me a sweet kiss on my cheek.
Peace to our little dog and my absent, but all so important son, as I go through a day by day, week by week, analysis of his life and what’s the best outcome for his sweet and precious quality of life.
About Sandy
I was married at age 19 and had my son when I was 24 years old. When he was nearly 2 years old I decided to leave my husband. We had nothing in common. I was so lonely. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and while I tried to get into hunting and fishing it just was not my thing. While I was thrilled to be a mom, I spent many lonely weekends with my son.
Ironically when I separated from my husband, my husband fought for sole custody and moved my son 1,000 miles away from me. I paid child support and found ways to be with my son throughout the years. We developed a wonderful relationship and he grew into a responsible young man.
When he was 26 years old his grandfather passed away and he decided to cut me out of his life . . . I set up this website to find some type of solace and speak to my son . . .
