Lucy & Me

I just finished the most adorable book!!!

Marley and Me

Not only did it bring tears to my eyes, but it delivers a powerful message - to live with no regrets, be adventurous, be silly, love everyone, live every minute to its fullest, forgive, show true loyalty 'til the very end (tear...), be content with the little things in life. The story of this couple, blossoming into a family, really touches the heart and the relationship they all had with Marley, their obnoxious, crazed and lovable lab, is so sweet! The author did an incredible job on describing the impact this dog had on his life and I admire his sincerity.

Lucy is my Marley. She has the bad 'Marley' tendencies, like when she chewed up my ipod headphones last week, but also the good tendencies: she follows me everywhere when I'm home, lies by my feet when I'm getting ready in the morning and waits patiently for us to get home from work... I don't want to think of the day when I'll lose my Lucy to doggy heaven. She is a companion I know will accompany Robby and I for many years to come. As my friend Sarah would say, I LUH her sooo much♥



This novel makes you appreciate the simplicity pets offer. The love they give, unconditionally. Even the worst dogs, have the best intentions at heart. Why not carry these over into our every day lives? Love unconditionally, take life for all its worth, be loyal in your relationships and see good in others even if it's hard... find happiness in the simple things in life, like a morning waking up to the sound of palm trees and chimes blowing in the wind, in bed next to your husband♥

Here's more about this book. And I think they're making a movie about it, too! A must read, especially if you're a dog lover!

Have a great week!

With love,

Cheryl

Heart-touching, beautifully written post, Cheryl. With much wisdom accompanying your book review.

You touched my heart with your words of wisdom. God Bless the family you and Rob are starting. Beginning with the two of you and little Lucy!

Love you both!
