Before heading out the door, I held my Scottie for the last time. Lexie "LuLu" was diagnosed with lymphomic sarcoma-cancer in the lymph nodes seven days prior. Talk about bad timing. She was beyond surgery and chemotherapy and so for the past week we have had her on prednizone to help increase her appetite and thirst. However, the vet said she wouldn't be with us for long.
The parents, Brian and Lyndsey brought me to the airport. Hugged all of them; multiple times, took some pictures, cried some tears and got on the plane. Wow, that sucked.
Arrived at Fort Lewis, Washington. My new home for a while. World War II barracks with open bays. At least it's better than a tent.
Holding my LuLu.
Dad, Mary Lou, Brian and I
I was flipping around to random blogs when I saw yours. That's awful. I'm really sorry about LuLu. That really makes me sad, and I don't have any idea who any of the people in these photos are and I've never met that cat. I guess it's the idea of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a Great American!
what would the troops think of the silo story?
ReplyDeleteHave you told them yet?
Love Dad
Kris,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about LuLu. loosing a family member sucks. I wish you safe passage on all of your travels. Should you get near Fort Riley, you had better call or else.
Semper Gumby,
Mike
I remember when you brought LuLu home and the reason why.(classic). Godspeed and stay out of harms way.
