Remembering Molly

Today would have been our sweet Molly's 14th birthday.

It's hard to believe it's almost been a year since she passed, and while Daisy brings us great joy, there are just some days that I feel a huge void. I'm sure that no one feels a larger void than Noelle.

Molly was her baby. Noelle would organize a birthday party for Molly and be sure that we had Frosty Paws for the dogs. She would make a cake and buy presents. She went all out.

One day last week, she came into my room and I could see she'd been crying. She asked me if I knew what Tuesday would be. I paused, thinking it had to do with a school event or something. She looked at me with her big beautiful tear filled green eyes and quietly said, "Molly's birthday".

It was one of those moments in life when you want to hug away all the pain, make everything ok and fix it. Sadly, as much as I wanted to, this was something I couldn't fix.

So, in memory of our Molly, here is a photo of Molly and her mommy.
