dogtraxThey buried The Sarge yesterday. He was our elderly neighbor, a veteran of the Korean War, who suffered dementia for the last months of his life. I spent many afternoons over the years, chatting with him about the world as he slipped treats to our dog. The Sarge retired with honor from the military and then spent 10 years as a volunteer, driving disabled veterans to medical appointments. Losing a neighbor is different from losing a family member, but any loss lingers. #smallstories
