Wow, I didn't realize I have this much stuff

You never can contemplate how ht better of packing my old stuffed ani the way as a kid All of that is packed up to be donated to the homeless shelter don

There are plenty of little girls ill enjoy it as much as I did Maybe even more, because for me there was an endless supply of stuff, for those kids, there isn't

Garlits juhs as he whines “Hey, buddy, you excited too?” I ask, bending down to pick him up

He licks my face over and over, and I have to pull hiet it I love you, too” Placing hier seat, finally wiping the sweat off my forehead

It's another hot day The sun is beating down on my face, and there isn't even so much as a hint of a breeze The trees and clouds are so still they look like a painting As if Bob Ross just brushed the sky behind the hills in the distance Happy little trees stand motionless, and the clouds are like white balls of cotton

I take a step back, just soaking this view in one last ti I wondered if I was going to be sad, s and stood in an empty room

And you knohat? I don't feel sad at all I'hter than air I don't think I've ever felt this free The weight ontaller I' on my oo feet for the first time in my life

Garlits pokes his head out theand barks “I know, I',” I say

I squeeze lasses down off my head to cover my eyes I'm ready

I hear the door in the garage open and close Pulling upat his side He givestosray cement

“You, uh, you got everything in, I see”

“Yeah, it was a pain, but I got it”

“I didn't think you'd be able to fit it all” He folds his ar his throat, he points at the dog “You sure Garlits won't be a problem?”

“No, he'll be fine Besides, he's likehim with me”
