And now the time is near

I guess this photo says it all... tonight is Sissy's last night here. We took her to Wakefield for a going away lunch today. We had a really good time. She is excited about going home and seeing her family and friends. I know she has missed them, but she hasn't complained and has been a real trouper. We will miss her so much. Her scandalous laughter and easy smile. Her joy at little things. And the fun we had as a "family." We've enjoyed our time together and rejoice that we had this opportunity.
There had to be one last "event" in her time here, so Barb invited her out to the cottage and Sissy actually went canoing. As usual, she had a great time. We loved watching her. Here she is.
