The 10th Good Thing About Rascal

…In Ms. Viorst's book, the 10th good thing about Barney is the way he becomes a part of the earth and so helps the flowers to grow. That's an immortality beyond debate.

The 10th good thing about Rascal was his daily testimony of unconditional love. In his every waking, bouncing moment, in his every grateful, unguarded nap in my lap, he reminded me that love is always worth the price of heartbreak. And that's a kind of immortality too.
