1804Mass

Dec. 25, 2003

 

 

I went to Mass last night with Aunt L, Uncle B & cousin B, and there was a blind
man there with his service dog. The dog looked so much like Nickie--
the color & the wavy fur, the little bit of grey around the muzzle...
I know you're not supposed to touch or distract service dogs while
they're working, but I petted it on my way back from communion. And
then as I was walking back to my seat, the man was in line for
communion and the dog kind of turned towards me and sniffed at my
dress. It made me cry.

My aunt took me over to the little chapel after the service and we
lit a candle for Nickie. I miss our dog.
