MinPinMoments

December 4th marked the six-month anniversary of Malibu’s journey to the Rainbow Bridge. It was a perfect day to plant wildflower seeds in her honor. I began this tradition in 2021, the year Aspen passed away, and continued it in 2022 for Quest. In each of those years, seeds were scattered during the first week of December, so today was a meaningful day for this project. The garden grows more abundant every year. With the addition of Malibu’s wildflower seeds, I look forward to seeing beautiful blooms in the spring.

This is my first Christmas in sixteen years without any Min Pins underfoot. I’m sad but trying not to dwell on it. Instead, I’m focusing on gratitude. I know how lucky I am to have had my girls for as long as I did.

2012 – Twelve years ago today, the girls were on Santa patrol. Their T-shirts read: Dear Santa, Let me explain…

December 17th is a day I will forever hold close to my heart. For many years, it was a day of pupcakes and presents. Party hats and birthday photo shoots. In 2021, it became a celebration for two. In 2022 and 2023, it was a celebration for one. Today, on their 17th birthday, my girls are celebrating together at the Rainbow Bridge.

Happy Birthday to Aspen, Malibu, and Quest!
