SHE ASKED ME TO PAINT HER TOES PINK

Since tomorrow is Pink Toes Day for Breast Cancer Awareness I am posting this pic of Jeannette's pink toes.  I painted her toes during her last days on earth.  She asked me to paint them because even though she was gravely ill , she wanted to keep her beauty on.  I gladly did them and tried to do like a professional person but tears were running down my cheeks like a dam that  had broken loose.  I could not control my emotions.  She looked at me with her big beautiful eyes and smiled.  At that point in time it was hard for her to smile due to extreme pain but she broke out one just for me.  I told her  that I would always paint my toes pink in memory of her.  We both loved the color pink.  When she was a little girl she loved pink tops and shorts.  She loved her pink lipstick when I first let her wear lipstick at age of 13.  Now, as I look at the picture of her toes I cry because I will never see them or her again here on earth.   I try to live an honest and good life so that I too will end up in Heaven and see her one day.  My baby girl, I miss her so very much.  She was my Nettle Poodle.
