Kate- Why today? What has happened that has called me back here? Why do I need to talk to you? I guess I want you to know what is going on in our lives. It is probably the dog. Loosing Lex last week was a shock and has once again changed the house. I leave and I don't have to make sure he is under control. I go to bed and there is no dog to get a bone for. There is not the constant whining to go out, or the jumping on the window to come in. The house is quiet. Quiet except for the cat. She is noisier than ever. Constantly at my feet, on my lap or in my bed. She knows something is wrong. Does she know what? Paula and Rob were quite upset of course. They saw Lex earlier in the evening, and so knew he was sick. I'm glad, because that way it wasn't a complete surprise when I called them. Rob and I both had the same thought as we were saying goodbye to Lex- that he was headed home to you. I guess that is the good. You get your dog back. I want to believe that somehow the two of you are together. It can't be heaven without your kids I know- but it wouldn't be heaven if your kids were not here, happy and healthy. But maybe it is happy with you and Lex. I miss you every day. I will miss you forever and ever. And two weeks.
