Along the lines with Buc's comments...I was watching some Wonder Years this weekend and it was an episode about Buster, the family dog. The last quote of the episode always brings tears to my eyes because I had recently just lost the dog that grew up with me last year and the quote pretty much sums him up.
Every American family has its own unique blend of personalities, my family was no exception. Within our four suburban walls we ranged the full spectrum of types. From the flamboyant, to the demure. From the repellant, to the ideal. Somehow, we managed to fit together in a kind of fragile alliance. One for all, and all for one. With one exception: Buster - the family dog.
And over the years, through good times and bad... through seasons of hope and change, he stood by us all. A silent partner. The first one to greet me at the door when I came home from my senior prom. The one who stared out our front window, on the day I left for college. And my mom said he stayed there for hours.
