morning moment
Dec. 17th, 2016 08:20 amAs I was leaving for work yesterday morning, a man and his dog were loping their way toward the park near the end of my street.
A woman driving by rolled down her window and held out a stuffed reindeer toy to the man. "Could you use this?"
The man shook his head regretfully. "It wouldn't last the day."
The woman smiled sadly. "Oh well. My doggie died, that's why."
I wish I'd been near enough to offer her a hug before she drove on.
Last night, at a holiday gathering at L27, I overheard the BYM replying to someone who'd apparently asked him to sum up his 2016 in a sentence. He said, "We bought my shop a building and our dog died."
That does cover the range.
