While my kids were eating dinner, I finally thought I was ready to open the box we got from UPS, containing the ashes of my 17-year-old dog. Even just looking at his name on the cremation certificate was too much. I sat down and called my other dog, a 15-year-old. She came over and I hugged her head. My 4-year-old boy saw me crying.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm hugging Gingee," I said.
"Why?"
"Because I love her."
He put down his fork, stood up, and walked toward me with his arms wide open. He hugged me for a few seconds.
"I'm hugging you because I love you," he said.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm hugging Gingee," I said.
"Why?"
"Because I love her."
He put down his fork, stood up, and walked toward me with his arms wide open. He hugged me for a few seconds.
"I'm hugging you because I love you," he said.
Awwww, that's pretty neat!
