Lily Loved Cookies

Hannah Jane Nancarrow

Lily loved cookies. Lily also loved burying her cookies in the garden, then digging them up the moment she suspected she had been discovered. She loved hot sunny days and cold rainy nights. She loved cuddling and trips to the park. But most of all, Lily loved cookies.
Lily loved to be held. She loved the feeling of being in our arms, squeezed tight against our chests. She loved sleeping by the fireplace and going for rides in the truck. She loved playing soccer with rolled up socks and her favorite blue toy. But most of all, Lily loved cookies.
Lily loved to bark. She loved to bark upstairs and down, in the garage and by door, and anywhere people could hear her. She loved sunbathing on the patio and laying at our feet. She loved growling at the vacuum and sitting shotgun in the car. She loved chicken and…

    Hannah.
    You may never get this and that’s ok. I just want to tell you that I read all you write and love it. I met your Dad once at a book signing in a garden shop in South Park. It is no longer there but I drive by it often and think of him. He reminded me so much of my own father who died at 49. I used to watch the news every night just to see him. Losing my Dad was the worst thing ever. But somehow seeing Loren every night made me feel better… Richer. Thank you for sharing your life and memories with us. They have helped me more than you will ever even understand.

    A big fan!!

    Casey
