This story might make you cry so beware...
Grady was in my mom's garage and saw a dog kennel that belonged to my dog Chance who passed away a few years ago. Grady asked grandma "who's cave is that?" My mom told him it belonged to their dog Chance who passed away because he was really, really old. She said that he was old like great grandma and that dogs get old just like people. Grady sat and listened and then after a moment asked my mom, "Grandma...are you old or new?" My mother's eyes filled with tears and she said, "I'm medium." Grady, the sweet spirit he is, then said to my mother, "Grandma, I want you to be new."
Wow, my son Grady totally understands what life is all about...love. He is such a great example to me and I am so grateful for him.
