| "Grace strikes us when we are in great pain and restlessness. It
strikes us when, year after year, the longed-for perfection does not
appear, when the old compulsions reign within us as they have for
decades, where despair destroys all joy and courage. Sometimes at that
moment a wave of light breaks into our darkness, and it is as though a
voice were saying, 'You are accepted. You are accepted, accepted by
that which is greater than you, and the name of which you do not know.'"

| Sad Story:
I was at my parents' house today when we noticed that Wally was acting
different. He didn't eat his breakfast (which is extremely odd because
he normally finishes his and then bullies Izzy out of her food), he
also would not go outside, he wouldn't budge he just laid in the
kitchen all day. Around three pm I got him to go outside and into the
"Big Backyard." Most of the time he and Izzy will run at eachother
until they get tired, but he just sat there with Izzy running circles
around him. Mom and I decided that it was time to take him to the
emergency vet. When we got there Wally started to perk up. We thought
about taking him home, but the exam fee seemed so minimal that it was
worth it just to check him out. The doctor was worried about him so she
ordered some x-rays. On the x-rays it was hard to identify his organs
which the doctor attributed to liquid in the lower abdomen. She took a
sample to see what the liquid was and it turned out to be blood...which
means tumor. This gets hard because my family has now had three goldens
all with tumors. The doctor started to prep Wally for surgury as soon
as my dad got to the emergency vet. A few minutes into the surgury, the
doctor was able to see that the tumor had already spread to his lungs
and liver. She immediately called us in there. It was so sad in the
operating room. They had put a blanket over him so that we would not
see where they had been operating on him. My mom stood near his head, I
held onto his paw, and my dad tried to stay as composed as possible
back in the corner. I felt his warm paw relax as they put him to sleep.
It was so sad. I'm not even sure what else to say. I just really miss
him.

| So I started feeling sick again...then I realized that it may be due to
all of the cookie dough I keep eating. Yeah for delicious temptations.
Nothing new is really going on in my life...just stupid school
work...blah! OU/Texas game is this weekend and I am so excited; I get
to go home, celebrate my birthday early, hangout with friends, and
hopefully watch a great game! Most of all, I'm looking forward to
hearing some new quote-worthy phrases from Holly. If you're in Dallas
this weekend give me a call (Katie...Steph...).

he does I think I will be more catious about handing them out.
