So a few weeks ago, we had to say farewell to our family pet Bandit. He was around 3 years old when we got him, and after 13 years, and many fond memories, the time had come to give him some peace and quiet. Over the years, he became very attached to Nicholas, my youngest. Now 20...Nicholas cared for him with great pride, and joy, and made sure he had everything he needed. Nicholas and I often talked about this day, but yet...Nothing prepared him for this massive void. I had never owned a pet as a kid, but the impact was felt by all.

Remember this one? She's such a funny girl! Maybe she's more flexible since she's missing a limb? Love the markings on those hind legs.

I mistakenly thought that this was the first week that i've participated in 'roid week. I forgot that i contributed this photo for 'roid week 2008. This was posted two years ago when my dad was really sick and we didn't know what was wrong, Sadly, he passed away in November of that year.
It is because of him that i first picked up a camera. The polaroid that took this photo was passed to me and then to my son who shot this pic.
It was also primarily because of my dad that i started sharing my photos on flickr. He looked at my stream every day and i always knew that he was watching over me by way of flickr.
I'd like to believe that he's still watching. I miss him terribly. I'd also like to believe that i channel his love of life with every click of the shutter.
Thanks y'all for being such a strong support mechanism. Reading through these comments from 25 months ago makes me miss him but it confirms the positive impact that flickr has had on my life.
You all mean a lot to me.
