After her funeral, I came home, drained, only to find a large, circus-like tent in my backyard. It felt like a cruel joke. Trembling, I lifted the tent flap, revealing a blanket that looked just like Lily\u2019s from the hospital. My heart sank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">But then, the bundle moved. Inside was Muffin, Lily\u2019s beloved kitten, with a note in Lily\u2019s messy handwriting: \u201cFor Mommy \u2014 So you don\u2019t feel alone.\u201d Tears filled my eyes as I realized it was her last gift to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">My husband joined me, explaining, \u201cShe wanted you to have this. She loved it here.\u201d We sat in the tent together, finding a small sense of peace. Lily\u2019s presence lingered, offering comfort through the vibrant colors and soft purrs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">In that moment, I knew Lily\u2019s love would remain with us, a shelter from our grief\u2014reminding us that while she\u2019s gone, her spirit and love endure forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A week ago, my 8-year-old daughter Lily lost her battle with cancer.
