Moving In

I was eight years old when King arrived, and I did not yet know that a single dog could make a whole life feel larger.

The days that followed were made of ordinary things, a packed lunch, a muddy path, the quiet light on the lake. But King had a way of turning each one into an adventure.

Years later, I can still see it clearly. Some stories stay because they are true. Others stay because they teach us how to remember.
