Annie was old and covered with scars

Her soul was as deep and beautiful as her coat

I adopted Annie when she was 10 years old.

I didn’t mean to, but we fell in love. The minute our eyes met, we knew. Her foster mother warned me she might not come to me. But she did. She hugged her body to my leg and stayed there.
