She was just one year younger than me. we grew up together all those years so she was there when I needed her. Her mom was killed by one of her neighbors when she was barely a year so we had to safe her from the same fate. We raised her the best we could and she was so special. By the time she was 17 she started suffering from Kidney failure, just months after we moved into our new house. I did everything I could to keep her here as long as possible but on December 1, 2006 she lost her battle. I miss her so much but at least she wont be suffering anymore.
