Whisper
I have been a lover of dogs ever since I was a young girl. Some would say I was dog crazy or obsessed. I prefer the term enthusiast. In elementary school, I would ask my granny to sew dog patches on all my pants. There is picture evidence to this day. My second-grade school picture is a whole-body shot versus a headshot. On the flare of my bell-bottom jeans is a dog patch resembling Lassie. In middle school, all my art projects or writing assignments were about dogs. When asked to design a cool catchphrase using a clipart, later to be made into a wearable button pin, I chose the phrase “Dogs Rock!” The clipart I chose to accompany the phrase was a dog in sunglasses playing the guitar. Of course, I wore the button pin on my bookbag. My folders and binders all had pictures of dogs on them. In seventh grade, I cried in class when we read “Where the Red Fern Grows.” My middle school yearbook is full of signatures along the lines of, “Keep loving dogs!” or “H.A.G.S. crazy dog lover!”

Fleeting Perennials
The peony is considered "The Queen of the Flowers." It symbolizes strength and righteousness in the face of adversity. Perennials are flowers that rebloom year after year. Most perennials live 5-15 years. The peony, however, is special. It can withstand the winter and blossom in the spring for up to 100 years or more. If my granny were a flower, she'd be a peony. Resilient, strong, and beautiful. Just like a peony, I assumed she would be around for years to come.
