This is Lee's little dog Bear, out for a ride. I have him now, and he is such a comfort! He used to follow Lee around or sit in his lap all day and was lost without him. Now, I have him and he is either in my lap, chasing the cat or following us around. He is a very sweet dog and I feel blessed to have him!

As I tried to hold onto 2012, so as not to leave Lee behind as we go into 2013, a dear friend of mine wrote this to me: his laugh will forever ring in your ears, his smile will forever shine in your mind and his love will forever be in your heart...
