Sorry, the pics are backwards in events (starts with most recent) but this first picture explains exactly how I feel right now!

How I found Lucy after a I got out of the shower. We had just gotten home from a long run and she had been up a lot the night before. She's naked b/c she spilt water all over her in the trailer. They were watching a movie. Pretty cute...this kind of thing NEVER happens.

Felt peace and comfort in the hospital, as hard and horrible as the experience was.
