REMEMBERING SHORTY


It was one year ago today that I brought Shorty home for the last time from the Crematory.  The day that I found out he had cancer; I bought a little chrysanthemum for $2.50.  It was about 6”. I grabbed it as I was walking out of Lowes.  After he died, I know it’s stupid, but I was mad at it so I didn’t water it.  Just left it on my deck through the winter.

When Spring came, I noticed there was just a little bit of green after I cut off all the dead stuff so I stuck it in the ground in the front yard.  It started growing right away and bloomed shortly thereafter.  Now it’s 4 feet around and it’s blooming again.  I can’t help but think it’s a sign to let me know he is okay.  Miss the little guy.  Beasley reminds me of him when he first came here.  I hope that she will one day have the security and trust that he came to know.
