Molly
Camden Point may have planted the idea for Holiday Suppers, but Molly the Boston Terrier put the idea into motion. Mike and I had talked about putting together a holiday dinner for seniors for a couple of years, but we never did. Then this past year we had to put Molly to sleep and we were devastated. We promised ourselves that we would do good deeds to honor Molly's memory so we started a monthly dinner called Thursday Night Suppers to bring people together over a home cooked meal. Holiday Suppers is an extention of Thursday Night Suppers.
Molly was a pet store puppy, but after the pet store let the animals get sick a rescue group from Missouri stepped in and saved them. From there Molly was adopted by a couple, who eventually let her go. We paid $90 for Molly - the best money we've ever spent.
Molly came home with us and immediately made our house a home. Molly filled our home with antics: she loved to tease Mike, run through the house and eat. She gave us so many years of love and laughter and she taught us many lessons about life.
Unfortunately, in July of this year our laughter was replaced by tears when Molly was diagonsed with Glomerular Kidney Failure. The day we had to put Molly to sleep was the hardest, sadest day of our lives. Before our vet came into the room we promised Molly that we would live a life that would make her proud of us.
Molly loved my parents, both in their seventies, and any time she saw an older person she always wanted to stop and say hi. Molly also loved food and parties. So again we thought why not combine all the things Molly loved: food, parties and senior citizens and create a dinner - Holiday Suppers.
We may have saved Molly six and half years ago, but really, she saved us.
