It seems strange to be starting the new year without Sahraa, who gamely traveled around the world with us for 12 years and passed away in August. I thought I had some pictures of her that I hadn’t posted, but this is the only one from the past that I could find, perhaps not surprising given her aversion to any kind of camera, even in a cell phone. I do have one taken the day before she died, but I think it shows the worry in her eyes, whereas this one shows her at her happiest, when Tim was petting her.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.
