I sometimes think it is ironic that our Vet tells me that Darsi viewed the world in black and white, because I don’t believe I have ever seen the colors of life’s spectrum more clearly than when I watched her live life. Darsi taught us to see love with unconditional brilliance. Her love was that of a pure soul, always there to greet you at the beginning and end of each day. Like the golden rays of a morning sun, her love revealed the hidden treasures of the night and filled our hearts with gentle warmth. Darsi also showed us how to enjoy life more. She retrieved every moment that life threw her way and was always willing to bringing back her joy to share with us all. Only Darsi could convince the symphony of the birds to leave their peaceful tunes and join her in a rousing rendition of Looney Tunes. During her last days, Darsi showed us the power of optimism. Even as cancer invaded her body, she continued to smile showing no signs of slowing until the very end. We will miss her dearly, but we will always know that the colors of life’s rainbow are never black and white because we’ve seen life through the eyes of our beloved Darsi.
