A Special Gift

The day before Simon's birthday this year, a special little girl walked into our lives. We found her wandering my complex, so Dad agreed to let her join the family. Such a sweet little girl, with unusal markings. We all fell in love with her rather quickly. Simon got the privilege of naming her Honey Bun. But there were surprises to be had, when we discovered that our little sweetheart was pregnant. She had taken to sleeping on Dad's bed and we jokingly said "Let's hope she doesn't have them there" and low and behold, at 1am one morning that's exactly what happened. Luckily Dad woke up in time, but she wouldn't have a box, so with lots of old sheets spread, he spent the early hours nursery her through. She gave birth to a little ginger female and a rather big black boy. Sadly the little girl, we called her Goldie, passed away when she was a few weeks old. Pan on the other hand soldiered on and is now a part of the family, with antics all his own.
