I was working at the humane society. One day, the cutest little dog came in. The owners could not keep her because a relative who was allergic to dogs moved in with them. This little dog was so cute and so scared. She was trembling with fear. My heart went out to her. She needed someone to love her and make her feel safe. I just fell in love with this little dog. I adopted her and named her Molly. When I took Molly home, I promised her I would never give her away even under the most difficult circumstances.



Molly brought so much love and joy into my life. She filled a void in my life after my mother's death. When my mother died, I lost my only family. I lost the unconditional love that my mother gave me. I lost the feeling of a family connection. Molly filled all of those voids and gave so much more. Together, we weathered the biggest storms. She was there for my father's death, being homeless (twice), loss of jobs, health problems and issues. (The list goes on and on) In spite of all the hardships, I thanked God everyday for Molly and prayed for her well being.



I miss waking up in the morning and having Molly beside me. I would always greet Molly. "Good Morning little girl," and she would stretch her paws and yawn. Sometimes, Molly would wipe her eyes with her paws. It was so cute. I would cuddle with her for a few minutes. Then, I would say "Come on, it's time to get up." Molly would jump out of bed, and we would get our day started.



Molly loved to go "bye bye car." She would get so excited. Molly always had to sit in my lap while driving. If I said no, she would nudge my arm with her nose. Eventually, she would always win and get to sit in my lap.



All pets are special, but once in a lifetime, there comes a pet that truly touch your heart in a way no other pet can touch one's heart. Molly definitely touched my heart and brought so much love and joy into my life. She will always be my little girl. I miss her so much, and I hope and pray I will see her again.
