Fiona Apple's Heartbreakingly Beautiful Letter To Her Fans About Staying With Her Dying Dog

[KTinaY2008]

25. What a beautiful letter

I could feel the love she had for Janet through that letter.

I have a husky mix that I rescued from a shelter back in 2008. He was 2 lbs and the shelter told me they thought he was a chihuahua mix and told me he was 12 weeks old. My son named him Nemo. Come to find out he was only 3 weeks old, ate up with worms, and had so many fleas he was severely anemic. He recovered quickly with treatment and nourishment. Now he is a 65 lb husky mix. He has a special relationship with my son who is autistic. For those of you familiar with autism, you know about the meltdowns. The other night my son was having a meltdown and I wasn't able to calm him down. Nemo walks up to him, and nudges my son's hand. That's all it took. My son calmed down immediately, hugged Nemo and said "I love you so much." Sometimes Nemo knows how to help him better than I do. I'm very grateful to Nemo. He's made a world of difference in my son's life.
