Sophie’s struggle has ended. Yesterday afternoon, with her family around her, her head resting in my palm, she departed this life.
Thus, my silence on this blog yesterday. Words cannot express the depth of my affection for her, nor my sadness at her loss. I am grateful for every moment of her life. I am thankful for her companionship, her friendship, and her affection. Her presence in my life. I miss her inexpressibly.
