When I posted this photo of Lucy on social media Wednesday, I just wanted to share my best furry friend. But a stranger who saw the picture saw more than I intended.
“Lucy doesn’t ask for much,” I wrote as the caption. “Most of the time, she’s happy and content if she can just lie quietly in the floor and watch me work.”
This stranger named Alan made a comment on the photo.
“My Lucy would often join us where we were working, too,” he wrote. “Cherish those moments, and don’t forget to give them a pat, and talk to them.”
His use of the past tense was my hint that his Lucy was a beloved dog from his past, but I still didn’t realize what was going on. After I assured him that I talk to Lucy more than I talk to humans, he responded again.
Beauty is everywhere around us, when our eyes are open to see it
How would you live differently if you knew when death was coming?
How do we intuitively see truth through the fog of perception?
Do they allow dogs at the hotel? Question is why they allow people
As a photographer, be prepared to doubt your talent every single day
Intuition sometimes tells you when someone is worth chasing
We’re neither friends nor enemies, just strangers who share the past
‘This path leads to somewhere I think I can finally say, I’m home’
When love finally dies, it’s like a fever breaks and the pain is gone
