Candy, our sweet girl — every single day we look at you and wonder how you managed to survive out there. How many nights you spent alone, confused, almost blind, and trying to make sense of a world that had already failed you. It breaks our hearts in ways we can’t put into words.

But now… now we hold onto the only thing that matters: the life you’re living today. The safety you finally have. The medical care you were denied for so long. The softness of a home, the warmth of people who adore you, and the promise that we will see you through every step of the journey ahead.

And when your final surgeries are done, when your little body is finally as comfortable as we can make it, we hope with everything in us that the perfect home will find you — a place where you can live out your twilight years wrapped in love, gentleness, and peace.

You deserve nothing less, Candy. Never again anything less 💕
