Suzy

I try to be very intentional about making this blog about Aidan and Aidan only, as it serves as somewhat a baby book for his life and as an important tool for keeping our friends and family who live away up-to-date on this life and development. That is why you will rarely see pictures of Aaron or I - it's really just meant to be all things Aidan. 
All of that being said - this is Suzy. Suzy was a part of the Rebhan family whom I talk about and make mention often. Today, after 15 years of wonderful life Suzy passed. The reason I feel it so important to make mention of this life happening is because though he won't remember her Aidan will know of Suzy and her exceptional love, loyalty and commitment to her people. Every once in a while a dog comes along (less often then I think we appreciate) that even a non-dog person is amazed by, Suzy was that dog. She was calm and steady, loved unconditionally, excellent with young and old, resilient throughout life's changes and challenges, her whole life's purpose and happiness was wrapped up in her people, in her family. 
People and animals enter our lives for a variety of reasons but always to teach us a lesson about life and about ourselves. The greatest lesson I learned from Suzy is to love and to be loved. I can only hope that Aidan will have a Suzy someday.
