kind words

We've been getting lots of support from family and friends. One friend sent me a note that i really appreciated:

I remember when we lived in Denver, I went over to your house one day to hang out. At one point during our conversation you stopped in mid sentence, bent over to pick Scamp up off the couch and held her up over your head with one hand. Scamp was looking at you and was very calm. You said, "look at this creature" with true wonder and marvel in your voice. The gesture, words, and the tone of your voice together seemed to perfectly express excitement, love, and appreciation. Even though it was a small moment, it was a great moment.
Anyway, I'm sad to hear the news about Scamp.
