Kidlat would have been 12 years old this June. That is 84 years in human time. But he has always just been a baby to me. He arrived in our home, a small light gray toy poodle, the size of a teacup. He hopped around so silently that we were afraid we’d accidentally step on him one day. So we bought him a bell and attached it to his collar. That way every time he moves, the bell will make this ringing sound, as tiny as his steps, ting-a-ling-a-ling.
He has brought so much love, sweetness and joy to our home. I can still hear the ringing of his bell, reminding me to always go back to what is essential in my life: my family, my home. And an important truth that we always seem to forget: that our time here is limited.
In the coming days, my wish is for you to constantly remind yourself of what is essential to you. And that, in our limited time in this world, you experience joy in the journey.
