Jolene says goodbye. 

Jolene brought such joy to my life over the 13 years I had her. This is a picture of her a few days before we had to put her down (she had a large tumor on her neck that grew to block her throat). We didn’t keep up with this blog after our son was born, and I don’t want this to be the last post since people have said in recent days how much they enjoyed it, so I’ve decided to start it back up. Jolene may be gone, but her memory lives on in our hearts and the literally hundreds of pictures my husband and I took of her over the years. #jolenedidthings
