"Most people have about 6 months and for you it's been 4-and-a-half years," Sarah explains and her words linger in a pregnant silence.
Then we burst into delightful laughter.
We delight in what we have and what we have is now!
Well, and two foster puppies who were saved in one of Hurricane Helene's many disasters.
Why in God's name would I, with as much cancer and having stopped treatment, be part of such a crazy and marvelous adventure?
The short answer is Sarah, who decided we needed more life in our house these days because of an over abundance of difficult days.
It is a magnificent emotional distraction for us from the day to day traumas of growing cancers, and everything that means.
And boy, are Ham and Pam two delightful pups we are going to find a home for while I still have time.
At just 6 weeks of age, these pups play hard, throwing their mere 2-3 pounds of body weight around, making us laugh.
Although their breed is unknown, you can’t help but fall in love with these pups who bring glimmers of pure sweet joy.
So help us give them the best life by adopting one, or sharing this post with others.
Sarah already has two more foster pups picked out to bring home and well, damn, I am determined to be around despite my cancers, to enjoy as many pups as I can.
