Back
in February I had to
write a post that was very hard to write, but I needed to.
It helped
with the
grieving process for me. The title of the post was “Why
can’t we take away their pain and put in its place the good memories”
and
it was about the loss of our puppy Midge.
We didn’t want to
immediately replace Midge because that would make the
kids
think we were doing exactly that...replacing Midge and we
felt the kids
needed
time to grieve before getting a new family pet.
Well,
about a month ago the
kids approached us about getting a new pet and we knew they were ready.
So, we
looked around and thought we had an idea what we wanted, but after I
commented
on a post here in the rain, about how cute their pet was, a turn of
events that
I didn’t expect started to happen.
You
see, my online friend
Wanda
Kubat-Nerdin is
about to become my real life friend and I
guess in a weird
way… a Family member! After I wrote about how cute her pet
was and that
my wife
and I have thought about getting a pig for the last 15 years or so, she
e-mailed me and told me that they just had piglets and if I wanted one
she
would give us one.
So,
next Sunday my family and
I are packing up the car and heading to Southern Utah and picking up
our new
family member… Athena!
Thank you, Wanda, and I
really look forward to taking part of your
family and
adding it to ours and I’m looking forward to turning another online
friendship
in to a real life one!
