Maggie by Tiffany

Eleven years ago Maggie found her way into my grandfathers heart. No one knows where she came from she just showed up on the block & from that day forward never left his side. Everyone agrees she’s the best thing that ever happened to him. I lived with my grandparents until their deaths just over a year ago. Then Maggie became my guardian. She & I both thought the other would die of heartbreak.

She just couldn’t let that happen to us so she watched over me and held on as long as her body would let her. I am so grateful she showed up so many years ago & I’m incredibly thankful she stayed to get me thru this past year without them. In return I refused to let her suffer & today sent her off to catch up with my grandfather. I will miss her deeply but she’s Pappys dog and by his side is where she belongs.
