The journey has many twists and turns, dropping memories along the way like discarded litter – but – he never forgets to care for Buddy.

Last evening he asked if it were time to feed Buddy. “Yes, we have to get his food, it’s in the cabinet below the coffee pot.” I know this is too much info so was getting up to help. Before I arrived in the kitchen he had placed his hand on the toaster, “Here?”

Something like this breaks my heart – such a little blip in the grand scheme of the day but so huge in my heart.

Maybe someday my heart will develop callouses to protect a bit more.
