Sadie came into our lives as a surprise. A surprise that brought so much light into our lives. I still remember the day I came home from work to see that my young daughter got into my acrylic paint. She had painstakingly painted each nipple on Sadie a different color! My daughter said “look, i made Sadie a princess”..and indeed she did. Sadie was prancing around happily with a smile and allowed my daughter to dress her in her clothing. That was Sadie..patient, loving, loyal, a “yellow crayon” in a world of dull colors. She brightened everything. She nurtured a young kitten, she loved to play, she tried to sneak an occasional bite of a rolling crayon across the table. That was her. She was pure and she made us better for the love she gave us. I miss you so much girl! Until we meet again, I love you.
