Willow

Willow was my heart, she was more than a pet, she was my rock for these last almost 10 years. She came into my life as a tiny fur ball, choosing me from the litter, and is directly and indirectly responsible for where I am in my life today.

To say she changed me would be an understatement. She’s responsible for my happiness today. She introduced me to so many people, people I’m still close to now. I got to know everyone in every neighborhood I’ve lived in, because of her. She taught me how to be a softer, more caring person. She changed me in so many positive ways.

Willow was a Morris Golden Retriever Cancer study hero (#1692) and it was cancer that took her. We hope that her yearly sacrifice will someday help us defeat this horrible disease.

I’m going to miss her. I’ll miss her greetings at the door. I’ll miss the way she ’talked’, I’ll miss how much she loved Wanda. I’ll miss how she made me a better person.

I know that one day we’ll see each other again on the other side. I know she’ll be waiting there for me. 😢
