Sometimes you can not fill someones shoes, "but" you can put them on and walk forward and hope you are worthy of them. - Me

This came to mind tonight as i am spending the week with my dog, well ok, Sheryl's dog. Couple years ago I lost my best friend, we have separate dogs kindof been a learning experience and realizing that it is how those shoes are filled. I don't need to replace my best girl had a replacement all along.
