This is so beautiful, Sis. Thank you for putting this lovely gem together…You have put in the work to share these words in such a beautiful way that went straight to the heart, the story of you and Finn is so lovely and the example you gave with 101 Dalmation isn’t just a story about dogs, it’s a reflection of love, unity, and moral courage in a world driven by selfish gain, lust, greed, and vanity.

The spark from day one came from the heart from both Finn, you and the girls, and that’s why you can still feel it till today. I pray that we truly live this life, thinking about how the next person feels; this world will be a lot better. It goes to show how much our genuine presence as a man is seen and noticed when we stay genuine as a person, especially in this world where we are rarely given our flowers most of the time.

I want to live this life not just for myself but for others. I got a lot of moral lessons from this love story.. Finn was a gentleman to you and the girls right from the outset, and the little intentional acts like acting like he was eating the blade of grass just to keep the girls engaged go to show how much of a down-to-earth and gentle man he is( because he’s soul lives on).

Finding the blade of grass in Finn’s office after he went to the afterlife is such a bittersweet moment, but it goes to show us here how our little intentional steps don’t go unnoticed. Keep being the better version of yourself, even if it hurts. You might not see it now, but someday someone will write a story about you, just like Finn’s story and gush about how amazing an individual you are.

Aww, thanks for such a thoughtful reply. I believe all of what you share here too. And we do get the chance to show up as our best versions and that is what remains in people's hearts once we are gone too. Finn inspires me to be a better version of me. He wasn't perfect, he was human. But he was noble too.

This painfully beautiful, the story of you and your husband is infinite- one that poets write about.

What a beautiful man Finn was! I'm so glad that you had him in your life, and that the beautiful memories can never be erased. It's through the memories that he is still with you.

Have a peaceful day and know that you are loved!

I love this- I felt I was there with you the whole way. Thank you, as always, for sharing.

And I know this isn’t necessarily what the story was about… but the dogs are beautiful, thank you for including the picture. We just lost our German Shepard, so seeing one always gives me the feels.

Thanks for your kind words, Shane, as always. It's cool that you know Boulder intimately as well. And I am sorry for you and your wife's loss of your Shepherd. We have a new one now, and I am convinced she is Ada's spirit returned. She looks and acts just like her. ❤️

I hope I get to meet her one day
