four years ago..

.. I was on a plane heading off for a big African adventure.
Four years ago, Astro snuck into our lives under the radar.

A friend of younger son P's had rescued him from a horrible, abusive tosser owner and was desperate to find him a home.
'NO' said I.
However within a nanosecond of getting on the plane, A arrived at the house and by the time I returned a few weeks late he had his four feet well planted in the hearts of P, jnr...and, within another nanosecond, me.

The 'kids' have left home and now it is just A and me.
And life would be a VERY empty place without him in it.
