I started out telling my husband this morning we need to go to cemetery to put flowers on my brother’s grave. He passed when I was 6 years old from SIDS. He was only 4 months old when he passed away. He never had the opportunity to get his cleft palate operated on. He was so special to me because his birthday which is today is only one day away from my birthday tomorrow. He was my birthday day present. To a six year old girl that was the best present a little girl could have in my little brain. Here I am 42 years later and I see my friend Cindy’s post about a puppy that has a cleft palate that needs major surgery. A very expensive surgery at that. Once that puppy gets his surgery, he will go to a little girl that has a cleft palate as well. That is absolutely beautiful and precious beyond my words can describe. So instead of going to cemetery and buying flowers, I donated in honor of Jermey Allen Cole (September 24, 1984 - January 30, 1985). Please read the post below and any donation amount will help this sweet puppy get to his forever family and a very special girl.
