I GOT COOKIE FROM MY BOYFRIEND,NOW MY HUSBAND 16 YEARS AGO. I WAS 22 YEARS OLD. I STILL LIVED AT HOME WITH MY PARENTS. I HAD COOKIE FOR 2 WEEKS, AND THEN MY DAD DIED. COOKIE WAS MY SHOULDER TO CRY ON. SHE WOULD LICK MY TEARS AWAY.COOKIE WAS THERE FOR ME WHEN MY MOM DIED 2 YEARS AFTER MY DAD DID. I WOULD TELL HER ALL THE TIME HOW SPECIAL SHE WAS TO ME AND HOW SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME, AND SHE WOULD ALWAYS SAY YOUR WELCOME BY KISSING ME.WHEN I WOULD COME HOME FROM WORK, SHE ALWAYS GREETED ME WITH A BARK THAT SOUNDED LIKE SHE WAS SAYING MAMA, I LOVE YOU, AND I WOULD PICK HER UP AND TELL HER I LOVE YOU TOO. I WILL LOVE HER FOREVER AND SHE'LL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART.
