close

bean is sleeping beside me, his right hind paw resting on my thigh. he stays very close these days, as though to make sure i know to keep an eye on him. he is very sweet, and very ill. right now he is snoring, and his paws twitching a bit.

he came into my life as i was trying to figure out how to live after divorce, after the loss of a child, after starting over. his companionship and love has helped to heal me. and now, as his life is winding down, i spend every minute i have with him; he frequently hangs out in my office with me and often goes for drives (i'm behind the wheel!).

getting ready to have a broken heart sometime, i think, in the not too distant future.
