Pinky, my faithful companion for the past 17 years, died yesterday. She had a brain tumor and required intensive treatment and care for the last couple of months. For the last six weeks, we fed her from an eyedropper because her face was paralyzed on one side. She really fought to stay with us as long as possible. Caring for her was time consuming and sometimes grueling but she taught me lessons on patience and enjoying the moment that I probably otherwise would never have learned. Rest in peace.
