Strongs, Paul. All the best for the years ahead. I'm sure you'll still see
plenty of each other.

Grace arrived 11 years ago on a flight from Scotland to Detroit, via
Baltimore. It was an escape I had arranged, and I couldn’t breathe easy
until I saw Grace and her mother descending the escalator from the flight
deck. My wife and I met them and took them home. The next morning I got
down on the floor and talked to Gracie — and photographed her — and we began
to establish a powerful bond that included all manner of things, including
cameras. In the years that followed there were parties, trips to the beach,
an endless number of days at the park, games, meals, some wonderful friends
in the neighborhood and more. And through it all, Gracie was my partner, and
I documented it in photos, some 3,000 I believe. But the end was always
inevitable and yesterday it came to pass at 8:40 am as Grace and her mother
left for a new life in Houston, Texas. I had steeled myself against the
inevitable, but once their truck was out of site, the tears flowed. Today
hasn’t been easy, but I have learned about moving on, and I’m working on
that. I’ll be good, and I trust that Gracie will as well. But I will love
her deeply until the day I die.
