The Birthday Girl.

So, Mindy turns 4 today. Perhaps it makes me an idiot that I know her birthday, but I miss my dog and wish I had been able to be there for her over the last two years. The sad truth is that I have missed a large part of her life and will see less puppy left in her when I finally get to live with her again. Anyway, I hope she does something enjoyable, gets a few nice new toys and eats well today, but also I simply hope she along with everyone else I love out there with whom I get precious little time know I am thinking of them often and wishing I could be there for more of the little changes and realizations that come together to make up a lifetime.
