You made me cry!!!
but they were happy tears!! You are not a good writer YOU ARE A GREAT WRITER!! Wow!! That was a terrific story and I did cry too when you told the part about your father killing Lady!! OMG...I have never forgiven my father for not paying for my dog to be fixed when she was hit by a car. He put her to sleep becuase we couldn't afford it. I don't know how you could ever forgive him for what he did when she just had fleas....no wonder you are afraid.
Thank you for sharing that...it was so great!
