Oliver

Oliver came into our lives when we weren’t looking.  He chose Kevin the first time he met him and when he had a chance to stay at our house he decided he wanted to live here, and showed us that by hiding behind the couch when it was time to go home.  Our daughter-in-law, Kelly saw how happy Oliver was with his “grandpa” who is retired and had all day to spend time in his joyful, boundlessly enthusiastic presence. “Oliver has a black belt in love,” Kevin declared. And it was true. He loved EVERYTHING he had the opportunity to do.  The most mundane tasks took on adventure status when Olie got to participate.  His smiling face will always be there when we walk into his yard or take our walk around the neighborhood.  He has left pawprints on our hearts that will never go away.
