This is my dog Bones. He is the best dog a person could ask for. My brother and I often joke that out of the three of us (my brother, Bones, and me), Bones is my mom’s favorite child. Bones literally is my little brother. He is 12 years old now, which is pretty old, and it’s starting to show; his hips are pretty bad and he has trouble walking. Today I went on a walk around the yard with him and though he was walking with me, he was walking slowly because his hips hurt. It’s sad to see him in pain, but inspiring to see him power through the pain and be as happy as he was walking around with me today. Bones’s life may be coming to an end, but my family’s memories with him will never end. I’m not trying to sound cheesy, I just really love my little brother, Bones.

“Let’s take a closer look,
Beyond the story book,
And learn our souls are all we own,
Before we turn to stone.”

just to find pure love’s embrace
like an orphan longs for his mother.
May you hold me in your grace.
“Bring on the wonder,
Bring on the song.
I pushed you down deep in my soul
For too long.”
