Top Dog

A couple of months ago, Grandma and Papa’s great companion Barney the dog passed away. Jeff broke the news to Marco in the car and he poured into the house wide eyed and sad faced. “Mama, Barney got died. And he’ll stay died.” He cried and was so very sad.

Now, months later, he’s still so affected. He talks about him and asks about him. A couple weeks ago when we got to Grandma’s, he was sad all over again.

I was surprised by his sensitivity. Jeff leans over and whispers to me, “Well, I’m glad he got my heart.”
