Our choice to adopt this puppy was inspired by Sarah's favorite toy dog, Rascal. We now feel we have a living reminder of our little girl. Already she has brought much fun and laughter into our home.

It has been two months since Sarah's passing. To us it feels like years since we held her and heard the sweet sound of her voice in our home. Our family has found some comfort in creating books filled with pictures and memories. Maren likes to carry her small book to school, tucked safely in her backpack. Nathan keeps his close by his bed to look through at night. I have placed a book on a kitchen shelf so that I can write memories as they come to me during the day. We treasure every rememberance of our little girl.
