Little Lins!

Every once in a while, Rudy visits me in my dreams. She visits Dan’s dreams too. We get jealous of each other when it happens. Last night I dreamt that Dan had a surprise for me while we were visiting my parents. He came out of my brother’s old room, holding Rudy by her collar. As I sat on the carpeted floor, Rudy pranced through the hallway into my old room. She laid on my lap and I gave her the biggest hug ever. I don’t remember much else about the dream. But I do remember having the biggest smile on my face as soon as I remembered her visit while I was warming up Ava’s milk in the kitchen this morning. I didn’t think I could feel any happier today… that is, until Ava surprised us by saying Rudy for the first time.

Eleven years ago today, our beloved Rudy was born. Happy Birthday, my friend. Happy Birthday.
