JoJo arrives in joy

Kathi brought purple roses,

chocolate cake, stuffed cutie and ‘60’

candles to celebrate her sister’s birthday

plus, JoJo, barely 10 weeks and 3 pounds

of precious, miniature dachshund puppy

Kathi finally again taking in

after the loss of so much

now joy she is ready to accept after

so much giving even through

her own grief
