[Dailydrool] Tears of thanks

[Laura Moravinski]

Someone out there in Basset land, there is a Drooler who, by an act of kindness to a stranger, helped this Grinchey heart grow three sizes today.  I received the 2013 calendar and spent 30 minutes looking at every page.  The beautiful faces of those we love so much.  Including my Harry, who’s handsome face is on April 28th.  I have not been able to afford a calendar in over 5 years now.....just not an expense I can justify treating myself to when I have a daughter to care for.  But someone out there decided to be my Secret Santa this year, and I am forever grateful.  I sit here with tears in my eyes, so happy to be part of a community that is full of such kind and caring people.  This will be my second Christmas without my boy, and the ache is still fresh.  I unpacked his stocking over the weekend....still full of notes that I wrote to him over the course of the season last year.  I am still not ready to welcome a dog into my home, so I will spend another Christmas missing my Harry and hoping that maybe, just maybe, this heart will heal enough over next year to perhaps take that leap again.  Until then, I will enjoy sharing a piece of each of your Bassets every single day next year.  

To my Secret Santa, your gift means more then you could know.  God Bless you for your kindness.

Happy Holidays to you all!!!!

Laura Moravinski and Harry ATB and eagerly anticipating a stocking full of stuffies!!!
