Saying goodbye to a dear friend…

Yesterday was a sad day for Bari, me, and Sasha. Over the past 9 months, Sasha has been a dream come true in terms of helping us raise Noah. She has become part of our family: Noah, Bari, and I all feel love for her and care about her.

But the time came for Sasha to chase down a dream that will take her to Berkeley, CA.

Yesterday was her last day with Noah, and we were all sad. I don’t think Noah knew what was going on, but it was a very touching day. Sasha brought Noah a great little book about dogs in the park, and wrote Noah a note that he won’t be able to read for a few years, a very sweet note about all the dogs they’ve seen and barked at together in the park.

And she gave us a beautiful card with wonderful thoughts and emotions expressed in it. We will save that one…

All of us will miss Sasha deeply, and hope that she finds what she’s looking for out in the Bay Area. Secretly, and selfishly, I’m hoping that one day she’ll return to be our Noah helper once again.

We love you Sasha!!
