Day 948

Adoration! Jimmy is home and the Goldens are in Heaven…especially Lilly! Our pack, or “Halo of Goldens,” simply adores their boy! Wherever he is, they are too.

In my list of ‘most adored’ would fall my family, friends, Goldens and a few other inanimate things (my home, beloved jewelry, etc.). The question I ask myself is “How does something or someone become adored”? I am not sure I have the definitive answer to that.

When I pause to consider my list, there are a few things they all have in common:

*They warm my heart.

*They are a part of cherished memories.

*There is kindness and love at their core.

*They are important to my happiness.

*They are irreplaceable.

Perhaps I should ask Lilly. She might just have the answer. The way she looks at her boy is absolutely humbling. I feel that, if I looked up “adoration” in the dictionary, the picture of Jimmy and Lilly would be on that page and definition enough.
