Spent the day with Sarkis remembering Dorothy, Dwight's mom. It was the 3rd year anniversary of her passing. Sarkis has been managing as well as anyone can hope to under the circumstances. Dorothy was his love (and still is) forty plus years. Sammy the cat is still under foot and waking Sarkis up in the middle of the night by standing on his chest and meowing directly in his face. Less than thrilling for Sarkis, but Sammy's sweet and keeps him company.
We had comfort food at Millie's in Van Nuys, Dorothy's favorite restaurant. We spoke of Dorothy and the family and how much we missed her. After spending about an hour in the booth, Dwight looks up only to realize we're sitting under an old school poster advert for Squirt, Dorothy's favorite soda. She's always with us in some way. Her gentle, constant spirit. Miss her.
