The calm rain had turned into a cold, sleety mess. The wind picked up and the temperature seemed to drop. We had to stop for gas on the way, and the weather was just volatile outside. It definitely reflected our roller coaster of emotions.
The other day, I was envisioning Kodo falling asleep, then waking up in a snowy field. He stood up only to find that he did not have to struggle nor did it hurt. Eventually, he took off bounding through the snow like a cheetah, as he would often refer to himself (in my Kodo voice.)
When we got home, we let Tali and Dozer out and had a good cry with them. Dozer was actually a blessing to have at the time...he wouldn't never allow us to break down for too long. I don't know if he detects sadness, but it seems that every time we started to cry, he tried to shove a random toy in your face...or stick his nose right on your ear as if he were truffle hunting until you bust out laughing.
Now, at home, we have a digital frame on the wall. It has maybe 200 photos on it. The pictures are of various subjects...family, pets, landscapes, etc. One photo shows up on the frame, then after 30 seconds, it will flip to the next photo...and the next and the next. When we got home, the frame turned on as it usually does. The photo that was showing on screen was Kodo, with a huge smile on his face doing the sloppiest of sits in the snow. Of all the photos on the frame with all the different subjects, Kodo in the snow was the one that showed up. Not only that, but an thirty minutes had passed, and somehow the photo never flipped to the next. The frame somehow was paused on the picture.
I suppose it have been just pure coincidence, but a part of me truly believes that somehow K was sending us a sign that he was doing just fine. While our sadness and tears won't be ending anytime soon, we're happy to hear that you made your journey, bear. Run like a cheetah until we can see you again!
