This blog has nothing at all to do with food and I hope you will forgive me for that. A four-legged member of the family crossed over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. HIs name is Preston and he was my mom’s dog. He was a beautiful, gentle German Shepherd. He was 10 years old. I know that there are those out there that feel as though “it’s only a dog”, but I also know that there are alot more of us out there who feel differently.Preston was family. I always called him my “brother” and when I talked about him to Emersyn (my dog), I would say to her “Ya’ wanna’ go play with Uncle Preston”? Silly, I know, but that’s just the way it is/was. Times like these always make me realize just how short life really is and that anybody and anything can be taken from you in a heartbeat. God only has us and the ones we love (both two-legged and four-legged) for a season and that season can be long or it can be short. So cherish every second you have with those you love and never, ever take it for granted that they will still be here tomorrow, or next week, or next month, or next year. Live and love every day as if it is your last. I’m sorry this post is such a downer, but I felt compelled to write it. I also apologize if it turned some of you off and away from Yum-O-Licious Recipes but again, something within me strongly urged me to write it. Perhaps it was God. If it was, then thank You, God, for giving me the heart and the words and the courage to write this. Have a great day everyone and remember to Live, Love and Laugh every day!
