Life is Fragile:
As the one year anniversary of Patrick’s death is upon us, and the endless mass shootings in America, I am reminded how fragile life is.
I didn’t say precious. To each their own on that. As for me, I’m not in that camp. I see life as fragile and random.
Today I look back very satisfied that I never had kids. The reason I was willing to take on 7 dogs is because they were already born and needed help. But to deliberately bring life to into THIS WORLD, I just couldn’t buy into that.
My seven dogs and I aren’t a traditional family. But, we’re a family nonetheless. If I live long enough to see all 7 of them live out their full lives, I’ll consider myself very successful.
Sincerely, Scott Smith, Patrick’s Father.
