Copper has this thing about Hawk's name. It started shortly after he died. She always says "See ya later, Hawk." whenever we drive away from his grave. Then one day she said "See ya later, Hawka." She told me that his name isn't Hawk, it's Hawka. A few weeks later it morphed into Hawkee. Now it's Hawkbert. As we drive away, a little voice in the backseat says, "See ya later, Hawkbert."
That made me smile, and cry a little, too.
