It's a bad idea to read past posts sometimes...

Since I posted about Louie 7 months ago, we have gotten a new pup - Cooper.  And Cooper is very much Danielle's dog.  I still miss my lil Louie.  But a friend at work did a painting of him for me.  And then another friend had me for a Hidden Wings gift exchange - Hidden Wings was about angels.  Well she got me a little memory box with an angel on it, and some words of encouragement about those who leave this life.  Louie will always be in my heart, and I might always shed a tear thinking about him, or seeing old pics of him, or even when friends post that they've had to put down a beloved pet.

But in the same sense, reading past posts shows me how much I have grown.  With the different tests I face in life.  How I react and how I come out stronger.  And I am stronger.
