For nearly three decades, these walls have held my life’s story—love, loss, and quiet resilience. When my sweet companion of 16 years passed, the silence was unbearable. As a widow, the stillness pressed heavier with every passing day.

Then came my girls. Two gentle souls rescued from the shelter where I volunteer. They had known nothing but confinement—an entire year spent inside a box. Overlooked, unwanted, they were just days away from being lost forever. 💔

The moment I brought them home, everything shifted. They tumbled into the yard, chasing sunlight and shadows, discovering the freedom they had never known. They watch squirrels with wide eyes, run with the wind, and curl into me at night as if they’ve always belonged. 🐾🌸

Yes, I saved them from an ending—but in truth, they saved me. They gave my house laughter, warmth, and life again. They didn’t just find a forever home… they gave me back mine. ✨
