Claire's heart was breaking. Her daily walk to the angel statue for the past twelve weeks seemed pointless. Little Bella cannot take more chemo therapy.
Legends say prayers will be answered by visiting the angel statue every day for 90 days; if the prayer is worthy.
Claire's cheeks dampen as she thinks of Bella and having to accept her horrible fate.
When Claire walks in the door, Bella runs over to her wagging her tail, jumping up into her arms and licking kisses all over her face.
Claire was elated. The cancer is in remission!
Her life has been spared.

Sweet story. At first I thought Bella was a little girl. I think I am relieved she wasn’t.
Thanks Deborah! 🙂
When we pray …
Ha! Wasn’t expecting that! Nice happy end!
Thank you! I just finished reading and commenting on yours. 🙂
I’m Glad her dog Bella was spared. It would be so difficult for the child to lose her best friend so young. Good take on the prompt, I’m glad it was a happy ending!
Thank you Mandi! I appreciate your lovely comment. I enjoyed writing this.
I do so love happy endings Priceless. 🙂
I do too Colleen! I think all stories should have happy endings. 🙂 (Of course, not all of mine do).
