Okay, here's the deal. When did people become "that" instead of "who?" I hear this on the radio on the TV ( and shouldn't news reporters know better )? and unless my memory is wrong, have even read it in places. Why? How hard is it to remember that people require a "who"? And here's another--myself instead of me. My boss did this all this time and it drove me crazy. Are we so afraid to be in the spotlight that we have to say, "So-and-so and myself did such-and-so?"

This heartwarming story is about eight-year-old Jimmy Longwood, who has fallen in love with a Golden Retriever puppy. When his parents explain that their condo does not allow pets, Jimmy is heartbroken. While skiing in Aspen the entire family is killed in an avalanche. Jimmy goes to heaven and meets an angel who decides to send Jimmy back to earth as the very Golden Retriever he’d wanted for his own and to learn the one lesson all human beings must learn…unconditional love.
Excerpt on Tour
The impact of Robin’s emotions on Jimmy was like two spaceships colliding in a Star Trek episode. It rocked Jimmy’s psyche.
He needs me! Not even my parents in my other life ever acted like they needed me!
“I love you, Beau.”
I love you, Robin. Jimmy gulped back a puppy tear.
I’m thinking fast here, kid. I’m not gonna let this thing, whatever it is, beat you...er, us. You’ve got me now. We can do it.
When they reached the parking garage, the attendant gave them a ticket and directed them to the fifth level.
“Oh, gosh. We’re almost there,” Robin clutched Beau.
“I thought we’d roll down the windows a bit and leave Beau in the car until we come back,” Hal said.
Leave me here? At a time like this? Are they crazy? How can I help if I don’t come along. Talk to them, kid.
“Daddy, I...I have to take Beau with me. He makes me feel stronger.”
“He does?” Robin’s mother was surprised. “Well, you’ve certainly bonded quickly.”
Jimmy looked around the backseat. Just then he spied Robin’s back pack. Quickly, he scrambled out of Robin’s lap and leaped over his legs onto the back pack. With his nose he tried to lift the flap. I’ll be a stowaway.
“Stowaway?” Robin repeated the word aloud.
Beau stopped working and twisted his head around to face Robin.
You heard me?
Robin clamped his hand over his mouth, chuckling.
I can’t believe it! The kid and I have telepathy. Jimmy raised his eyes heavenward. Thank you for that Mr. Angel. Or Angel or whoever you are.
