A Touching Moment

[Star and Goldie]

Tonight as my daughter played with her partner in crime, Riley, she looked up at me so sweet as could be and said "Why is Riley's hair coming out?" So we sat down and talked about why Riley's hair was coming out. I explained that Riley was getting older and that is part of the reason why she doesn't always have the energy to play like she used to.  So she says "well that's ok because she's just my Riley Girl and my best friend" and then she said to Riley "I will help you girl, we'll make that hair go away" and she started to gently pull the hanging chunks of Riley's loose hair. It literally brought me to tears. It was such an innocent thing. She was being a problem solver. She was helping to get the loose hair off but what I saw was something far deeper. These two have been inseparable for the past 3 years. Their bond is unbreakable. Riley has been her heart and soul and her protector and now that Riley is aging, Silverlyn is protecting her. True love.

This picture isn't the greatest but it's the only one I could capture in the moment.

Wonderful that you captured a precious moment. Children are so wise we just need to take the time to listen to them. Kindness is the best trait and Silverlyn has it in spades.

How incredibly sweet!  If we could figure out a way to put the caring gene in everyone wouldn't the world be a better place!

Oh my gosh Star did you cry? I sure want to right now! Such a beautiful and touching moment! U are raising such a beautiful girl :)

Thanks, everyone. Still no update on Riley's condition. I'm anxiously waiting on the results from the vet. I should hear back tomorrow. This moment that I captured between the two of them suspended my anxiety for a minute and was so calming.

You are raising a wonderfully compassionate daughter. Have you found the cause of Riley's hair loss?

[F, Calla & Luca]

What a sweet and clever girl you have : ) Did you ever find out more about Riley's illness?
