My Sisters

Today I went to my first funeral for a patient. She was an amazing, spirted, full of life 17 year old who taught me so much in the time I knew her. The most important was to not take life for granted. She never asked "why me" during her entire two and a half year fight against cancer. While I was praying during her funeral and listening to her sister give her eulogy, I couldn't help but think of you girls. How hard it would be if I didn't get to tell you how important you all are to me. So, in her honor...

My sisters have truly helped shaped me into the person I am today. They have been there for me, literally since day one! They truly are on of the best things that has every happened to me... I am TRULY blessed!

My sisters were there for me when I was learning how to walk and run (however awkward that may have been!) When I learned how to tie my shoes, when I went to my first dance (which was on crutches!) when I fell in love, got my heart broken, more importantly... when I married the man of my dreams. My list could go on!

My point is, you girls have been there for me for every big and small occassion in my life, and I couldn't feel more proud and happy to have you in my life.

I know that no matter how far we are from each other we will be the first people we call with big news, major changes, or just that we need to talk.

Thank you for being my best friends, my sisters. Thank you for making me a better person. I love you so much and am so glad to have you in my life.

Look What I Can Do

Are you hearing the voice of Stewart?? Because that's how I hear the title of this post in my head... ha!

Henry just wanted to show off how close he is at rolling from his back to his tummy... aparently he's already done it for daycare and for Grandma, but until he does it for his Mom it doesn't count... ha!!

To see how good he is at rolling over during tummy time... go here.

He misses you, Lynn & Mike... wish you could be here to see him grow!!

Woof!!

Hey guys!! How's it going? I'm hanging out in Okinawa and keeping busy. I chewed up a few new toys, ate a quart of hummus that Mom left on the counter, and sleep the day away on the couch. It's ruff life but someone has to do it!!

Dad left several weeks ago to go to a place called Alaska. I don't know much about Alaska, but I hear the sun stays out really late!! Dad just left Alaska and arrived in Florida this morning! He's going back to Tyndall where I was born!! He said he's already been by the Pet Smart where I went to puppy school and saw our old house. Maybe he'll go to beach where I learned to swim too! I sure miss him when he's gone, but I get to sleep in the bed with Mom. That's a pretty good trade off. I sure do love to snuggle.

It's been raining for days now so we haven't been back to the beach in years... do you know how long that is in dog years?! I can't wait to go back to the beach. I love the beach!! We haven't been able to go for walks either. I love walks!

I hope you are all doing well. Please send me treats! I love treats!! Skype with you soon.

Love -

Mr. Rusty F. Bones
