Jace and Mindi

Baby Jace came home on February 14, 1986; this is when Mindi learned to share Mom with this new little interesting creature.  Jace was very small. Mindi took to him immediately!  Watching his every move and letting Mom know when he was crying or upset.  Later when he could crawl she kept him away from the stairs or making herself heard if he was unstoppable.  She especially liked when Jace played string and balloons with her, this new little friend became just that, friends for life.  When baby Jace would empty out the cupboards she liked that because she could go inside them and hang out, she also liked to get in towel drawers and somehow she could close them, and Jace would have to find and seek, they did this for hours.  A lifetime was enjoyed with our friend Mindi.

Then many years later…  On Saturday March 10, 2001 at 11:45 pm Mindi is now one month shy of 17 years old.  She doesn’t have much time left from the cancer.  She cried out to us, Mom held her head, to comfort her.  Jace was petting her and telling her it’s okay Mindi, while tears were streaming down his face. We all said our good byes.  Mindi took 4 breaths and she was gone.  We miss our sweet friend.
