      With Love, From Smiley W - Samantha Madison Langley

      Sometimes the heavens send us a gift. It can come in many different packages. This is the story of the coming of a little dog who has many challenges but is blessed with a pure heart—a heart with such a wonderful bright light that it touched all who knew him. This is the story of Smiley W, his family, and all who loved him.

      Megan, sitting by the poolside with a restaurant on the other side of a door in the distance, held a little dachshund like a baby in her arms. He seemed to enjoy the attention. A breeze lightly came up, and he twisted as if following it. As the door to the restaurant opened, Smiley raised his head and looked directly at the lady passing through it.

      May I please see your little guy? she asked. Megan sat amazed as Smiley reacted as if he not only saw her but heard her as well.

      He is absolutely adorable, the lady continued. What is his name? Megan looked stunned, which puzzled the lady, so she asked, Is everything ok?

      Answering all three of the lady’s queries at once, Megan replied,

      Yes, his name is Smiley, and you can definitely see him. Could you please do me a favor? Could you walk back to the door and then come back?

      Sure. Now the lady was the one who looked puzzled, but she went ahead and did as requested.

      Just as before, Smiley’s head perked right up and he looked directly at the lady. Megan was again taken back and not sure what to make of it. She told the lady,

      I’m sorry for acting so strange, but Smiley is both deaf and blind. He is a very special little creature. He loves everybody and everything, but he lives in a bubble from sight and sound. The fact that he is reacting to your presence is astounding. I am not sure what to make of it.

      I’m Sharon from New York, replied the lady. "My husband is in town for a medical procedure. It is so beautiful here, but I just said to my husband that I miss hugging a pup! My Feona is at home, and I haven’t left her for any amount of time in quite a while. We are leaving in three hours to fly home. I guess I’ll always be addicted to dogs!

      Maybe that’s why your dog senses me. Bill says that I must have been a dog in my past life!" She laughed as she recounted her husband’s conclusion.

      Megan explained that she had taken Smiley on vacation with her while she accompanied her partner on a work trip during which she was also going to look for new orchid venues.

      May I please take some pictures of you under the tree? Sharon asked. I would like to remember you and Smiley.

      Of course you can and would you do me a favor? Would you please hold Smiley? I would like to see his reaction to you. I’ll take your picture with him.

      By that time, Sharon’s husband, David, was there was enjoying this little creature immensely. An amazing thing happened. When Sharon held Smiley, he looked right up into her eyes and nuzzled her. She had a far-off, very stunned look as tears started rolling down her cheeks as she felt a feeling that she couldn’t describe. She held him and held him. She was speechless, but as she cooed to Smiley he continued to fixedly gaze into her eyes.

      It was 6:00 a.m., and the air smelled of the sweet smell of orchids, fresh green grass, and the morning dew on the plants. It was sunny and warm already.

      The flowers should be up by now and ready for their water. Terri is coming in this morning for her new job as my assistant, and I should be ready for orchid customers, Megan said to Chocolate Bunny and Honey Bunny, her two cocker spaniels who were obviously in dreamland. Sleepily, the two raised their heads.

      "Are you two coming, or are you going to sleep all day? Breakfast is out in the greenhouse
