Mary Lou by Katie / Mommy

I met my sweetest Mary Lou in September of 2002. She was about 4 months old. A friend had found her & 3 litter mates running loose outside of Greensboro, NC. They were skinny & sick. She took them in & went about finding homes for them. I had recently ended a relationship, & wanted a pet. When I met Mary Lou, I knew immediately that she was the one for me.
She was with me for over 12 years. She went through my parents’ divorce with me, my own coming out, my marriage, & the birth of 3 children. We lived in 5 different houses in her life. She was always a source of comfort & love, every single day. My life feels empty.
I would give anything to hold her again. I miss her beyond words.

 

As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be,
Mary Lou
