The day after I got home, I took Buddy to the veterinarian research hospital in Pullman, Washington. He was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia-so rare the team had never seen it. It was last reported in the medical journals in 1978. I was told we might have six months. I had hoped for that, but instead we had three weeks.

Katherine and I said goodbye to him in front of an early winter fire. It was a mid-November afternoon and the sun had streamed into the living room all day. Buddy had rested there in his bed, soaking up the warm rays, while my watchful eye saw the tumors actually growing under his skin. In the end, it was a decision of mercy and love in the face of an unavoidable reality. As I covered Buddy's body with his blanket, I knew this was the end of an extraordinary chapter in my life. It had begun in September with the Women's Harvest. It had taken me to the farthest edge and was ending here. I knew I was changed. I didn't know how.

Nights followed where our dinner conversations hinged on matters of loss. Something really important was happening for all of us. Finally after a story I shared, Katherine said to me, "Is this what you mean when you say..." It was in reference to the impermanence of life and the preciousness of only this moment. "Yes, that's what I mean." Someone said to me, "Our pets teach us about life." Disasters teach us about life, too. We were learning a lot in those early days of winter-hard lessons of life that inspire poetry and songs of the heart.

March blew out the last of winter (maybe) and today is April 1st. I have wanted to tell this story, but it had lain in the dormancy of my own frozen winter. In these longer, warmer days of spring, I was feeling myself beginning to thaw. Yesterday, I rode my bike throughout a 5K course among 600 runners. I was assigned as a Red Cross volunteer to provide emergency or first-aid assistance if needed. People thanked me as they ran by-smiles of appreciation mixed with their strain and deep breathing. My presence was assuring to them, maybe even comforting.

I thought about the last time I had worn that Red Cross vest. I wore it for three weeks straight in New Orleans and never washed it. There was never an opportunity to do so. I believe I wore it well and did make a contribution. I had helped ease some small bits of suffering. I did wash the vest after I got home, but none of my experiences in Louisiana have washed away. They are with me always. What endures mostly are the memories of when there was nothing that could be done, when only grace could intervene and kindness was the only hope.
