More: Dublin is the nucleus of our family of 6. He transformed our home’s energy the moment he arrived. His “favorite” family member is the one he is with at any given moment. He lights up a room with his presence. He steals the empty side of every bed in the house. He lives for his ball collection, running on the beach, jumping the waves, car rides with his entire torso out of the window, and whipped cream-which he can hear when it is squirted from the can from a block away. He may be the single reason that we have yet to become empty-nesters. (And we are A-okay with that!)
