Mending Broken Hearts

Tonight, I got to make my mama so happy. Before I tell you what I did, I must share a sad story with you. In December, my mother lost her best friend in the whole wide world. Her pug dog- Pebbles. Pebbles was one of my childhood pets that became my mom's pet. Long after each of us grew up and moved out, Pebbles the Pug remained loyally at my mother's side as she faced empty-nest syndrome. She was there when my mom's mom died and when she faced a very scary health crisis. But, after 13 years of loyal love and devotion, Pebbles died a few days before last Christmas. My mother was shattered. No dog in the world could replace her Pebbles. Several months have pasted and my mom stills sheds tears over her lost companion, but today I gave her a beautiful baby puglet. She is all wrinkly and snorty like pugs should be and it was worth every dollar in my pocket to see my mom scream when I handed her the tiny 8 ounce puppy. She of course became all teary-eyed like women do when something is too joyful to hold inside and I couldn't help but feel like the best daughter in the world. She called me this evening and told me how she had spent a small fortune at the store buying all of her "Allie-Girl's" new toys, food and bed. Tomorrow is a new day for my mom and I hope it is filled with all the love and puppy kisses she deserves.
