After burying her eight-year-old daughter Lily, Ashley returned home, drowning in grief. But something in her backyard caught her attention, pulling her into an unexpected mystery.

The funeral had been a blur. Everyone offered condolences, but all Ashley could think about was Lily’s absence. She felt hollow, unable to process life without her daughter. As she sat in the driveway, dreading the emptiness of her house, something strange appeared in her yard—a large, brightly colored tent, out of place and surreal.Confused, she approached it. The closer she got, the more real it became. With trembling hands, she opened the flap to reveal a small bundle inside. Her heart sank, thinking of Lily’s frail body. But the bundle moved, and a golden retriever puppy peeked out, wagging its tail.Wrapped in a blanket beneath the puppy, Ashley found an envelope with Lily’s handwriting. Through her tears, she read Lily’s last message: a note telling her mother that she’d arranged for the puppy, Daisy, to be her companion and comfort.Ashley wept harder than she had since Lily’s passing. Even in her final days, Lily had thought of her, leaving a gift to help her through the pain. The puppy was more than just a pet—it was a symbol of Lily’s love, a reminder that even in death, love endures.
