My sweet, gentle Lilly died suddenly today....my heart is so heavy. I miss her so much. My mom surprised me with Lilly the Christmas of 2004...the best surprise anyone could have ever given me. I still remember what I said as I rounded the corner out of the kitchen and into the den "you got me a puppy?" There she was sitting in a basket....so tiny and precious. I have never been so surprised. Mom, Kim and Jamie all had tears because they were so excited to give her to me. Lilly was a little furball and I immediately fell in love with her. She brought so much joy to my life...even though she did get on my nerves occasionally. Lilly was always there to greet me when I came through the door. When my mom passed away, she gave me love and companionship that I needed. She was so trustworthy - I could be outside working in the yard and she would never leave my side. Aaron and Lilly were big buddies, too. He taught her tricks and wrestled with her. We are sad that Lilly and Carter didn't have the chance to bond, but I know Lilly loved him. She would stand up to look in on him when he was lying in his pack n' play and loved to lay on the rug in his nursery. I hope she knew just how much I loved her. She didn't get the attention she was used to once Carter was born, but I think she understood and knew that we still loved her. There will never be another Lilly....she is irreplaceable. We miss you Lilly and will never forget the happiness that you brought to us!!
