Today, you turned nine. I missed it—but not really. I celebrated with you in my heart and with a big smile. I shopped for you as if I would see you open up that box and imagined your reaction to each gift. How you carefully unwrap the tissue because you don't want anything to fall out. Your facial expressions giving everything away.
Oh sunshine, today you are nine.

When we first adopted Sadie, we knew she was special. Something in her demeanor, the way she carried herself. She was a little skittish sometimes but the happiest little bundle of fur in the entire world. Every time she'd eat, even to this day, she wags her tail the entire time.
She loves her family and her home—despite her rough beginning. And it wasn't until I sat with one of our fosters telling him Sadie's tale, that I realized how closely their stars aligned. |
