A Dog's Purpose

My friend, Diane Hansford, recommended that I read a new book titled "A Dog's Purpose". I ordered it from Amazon.com and started reading the day it was delivered. I finished the book the day it was delivered. I was unable to put it down. I belly laughed and I sobbed.

This is a story for those broken hearted, guilt ridden, second guessing of decisions made, tormented souls among us. I was one and needed this book. My friend, Diane apparently knew. This story started the healing. It literally rolls over your soul like a soothing healing salve while simultaneously nurturing you. I hope others are able to use it to comfort their suffering souls.

I know that Taylor, Jake, Holly, Savvy JO and every animal family member I've ever had knew right to the last moment of their lives that I loved them every moment of their lives and that I did the very best I could to make the best decisions for them. Some decisions are bad decisions, but they are the best decisions you can make given the circumstances you are in. This story helped me forgive myself for the decisions I've made so that now all I have to do is deal with the grief of living without them. That is no small feat! Run (do not walk)and buy or borrow the book, read it as soon as you can. Allow it to help you heal.
