Both Elijah and Chippy turned 15 yesterday. What a turbulent decade and half for all of us! Fortunately we have had this pair of siblings living with us side by side since the moment they stepped out their adoption basket into our arms, on the steps of Main Post Office one midday in July 2012. They stayed temporarily in our Pacific Avenue HQ office until they could go home with Gail and me. So many people passed through admiring Elijah's blue eyes and Chippy's pinky ears.
The brother was so happy with his sister next to him, but totally lost and heartbroken after she was picked up by Paul towards the end of the day. The siblings met once when we organized their 5th birthday party. Chippy was surprisingly calm but Elijah was scarred.
They have been our true love and companion all these 15 years and many years to come!
