# My mom had a dog named Violet who passed away at the age of 15. My…

My mom had a dog named Violet who passed away at the age of 15. My aunt gave her an African violet to remember her by. After a while the violet wasn’t doing so well so I took over the care of her. I repotted her and moved her to the east facing window. She’s flowering now and has at least 10 more buds that should bloom soon.

We still miss her so much.
