People are just amazing (in a good way!)

It's a good feeling to be throttled by kindness.

My little sister (not-so-little, she's 21 lol) changed her Facebook profile picture to a very cute photo of her and our dog/puppysister, whom we put down on Friday.  

She told me today that the doorbell rang at our parents' house, and that when she opened it, a friend of her was standing there, holding a drawing on canvas.

He had drawn a portrait of Em and our dog, for her to keep forever.

And now none of us can stop crying!  lol

What a nice thing for someone to have done!

[janiejones]

That's awesome!!!!

[2boys2danes]

That is supercool.... I wish I had some skill like that to be able to use it to make someone's day....

[Dusky]

Aw, that's so sweet. He's a good friend.

It was so well done that he must have exerted a ton of effort and time on it, and he only saw the photo YESTERDAY.

If he has a crush on my sister and they wanted to date, I'd approve. HARD.

[Tea-rific]

So sweet and thoughtful. I love stories like this.

[flamingeaux]

aw damn it. Who left onions in this thread! I'm all teary. What a sweet and amazing friend your sister has.

I was about to say I hope this was some subtle proclamation of his love and that they start dating, lol.

Because this is beyond sweet.

Also I totally want to see it! Is it a violation of someone's privacy to post a drawing of a picture? Lol. I totally understand if you don't want to.

I thought about it!  I really did.  But since it's got my sister's pretty face in it, I didn't want to violate her privacy.

I think my mom is cheering for Sister's Friend as a potential boyfriend candidate as well, since she's not a fan of the current model, lol.

[snickers]

Aw!

[juliagoulia]

That's so sweet :*-)

He's totally crushing. That was my first thought. That's a sweet offering of love.

I'm crying again over it! What a mess I am.

We have both had a really hard time getting our "last" image of her out of our heads, the one with her on the steel vet table, having just passed away in our arms. Even though she looked like she was sleeping, it's still...disturbing? I don't know. I thought I was prepared. I keep seeing it when I close my eyes at night. I hated leaving her there.

I'm hoping this drawing can help cure some of that for Em, who has been struggling.

[tdk2]

Awwww that has to be so hard.

I want my dog to live forever, please.

[WOT?*]

We had hamburgers for dinner. I just finished slicing a red onion. True story.

My sniffles have nothing to do with how sweet this is. It's the onions. If he doesn't ask her out, she should ask him.
