Day 148.  I wasn't really expecting to have my picture back on here so soon, but we took some family pics today.  Matthew wasn't able to be here for them.  We waited until now so he could be here but something came up.  It was hard on Stacy to have family pictures without Matthew, so she asked me to insert his head from another picture.  She wanted it to look like I inserted it, so it would be kind of funny.  Well, it definitely looks funny.  I don't think we will use it for cards though.  We do miss him at home, but I'm glad he has his own life.  When Matthew was about three years old, we got a puppy from the local shelter.  Matthew named him Poogiebo, remember he was three.  We called him Bo.  Bo was a mixed breed but he was a natural herder, and he was always herding Matthew.  It was very funny.  I trained Bo to find Matthew when he was hiding.  I would hide Matthew somewhere and then tell the dog to find him.  Bo always found him.  I guess I just wanted to know that if Matthew ever wandered off, we could find him.  He never did wander off, but we were ready if he did.  It was hard at first to not know where he was or what he was doing when he first went to college.  Now, days go by before we hear from him.  After three days we get a little anxious and have to call or text him.  What can I say, letting go is a process.
