A few years ago, on my birthday, my mom and I decided we wanted to go to Disney World. My mothers birthday is only a week after mine, so we decided that as a special birthday treat for us we were going to leave for Disney the following day. This became chaotic very quickly.
My mother and I rushed to get everything together. We had to pack all of our clothes, get a hotel, get a plane ticket, and get all of our Disney plans together. The next twenty four hours were super stressful, because we didn’t want to forget anything. Luckily we got everything done, but it wasn’t perfect.
We didn’t have time to shop for the right clothes to wear, so we had to bring what we had. We got a hotel at a Disney Resort but it wasn’t close to anywhere we wanted to go. We had to sit all the way in the back of the plane.
Our trip was so much fun even though we didn’t plan it out as we normally would. Looking back at there was so much I would change if we thought it out. We would have had the right clothes, a better hotel, good plane seats, and would have not been in such a rush.
One of the most important things that happened to me that actually happened by accident was getting my dog, Levi. A few weeks prior, our family dog passed away. His name was Sheamus. He passed away very suddenly and left our family heartbroken. We swore that we were never getting another dog again because we couldn’t ever feel this pain again.
A woman, who was a breeder for Shih-Tzu emailed my mom and said that she heard about Sheamus. She offered to give us a little puppy, she believed that he could help us. We weren’t sure we were going to take him home. We all got in the car and went to her house. She lived about three hours away and was only ten minutes away from my grandmother’s house.
Getting there was an adventure, and at times we thought we were going to turn around and go home. Somehow we ended up on this woman’s front doorstep. She opened the door, and lead us to her puppy. She said his name was Levi, and we instantly fell in love.
My mom had no choice but to get him. He helped us get through the pain of losing Sheamus, and helped us learn to love dogs again. We ended up getting Levi a little sister, Lucy Lu, and now our family is complete. I can’t help but wonder what my life would be like without them.
