After burying her eight-year-old daughter, Lily, Ashley returns home, drowning in grief. It’s been a week since the funeral, and every moment feels like an unbearable reminder of her loss. The funeral was a blur of tears and empty words, and the house now feels overwhelmingly silent without Lily’s laughter. As Ashley drives home from the cemetery, she’s exhausted and emotionally drained. She doesn’t want to face the emptiness of her house, but when she pulls into the driveway,

she sees something unexpected: a large, colorful circus tent in her backyard. Confused and disoriented, she stumbles towards it, wondering if her grief is playing tricks on her. Inside the tent, Ashley finds a small bundle wrapped in a blanket. She’s flooded with memories of Lily’s final days, and her heart races. But as she reaches out to uncover the blanket, a small golden Labrador puppy emerges. The puppy,

with a pink bow around its neck, looks up at her with curious eyes.In disbelief, Ashley notices an envelope under the blanket. To her shock, the envelope is addressed in Lily’s handwriting. She opens it and reads a short note: “I know you’re sad because I had to go to heaven. But I wanted to leave you something to help you smile again. I asked Daddy to get you a puppy, so you’ll have someone to cuddle with when you’re missing me. Her name is Daisy,

and she loves to play! Please take care of her for me. I’ll always be with you, watching from above. I love you so much.”Tears pour down Ashley’s face as she realizes that, even in her final days, Lily had thought of her. The puppy, Daisy, becomes Ashley’s anchor in the midst of her grief. As the days pass, Daisy’s playful energy helps Ashley find small moments of joy, reminding her of Lily’s love. Though Daisy can never replace Lily, she becomes a living reminder of the bond they shared, giving Ashley the strength to move forward.
