Princess Willow Dream 3 weeks

When my aunt's cat Bow got pregnant, I knew I wanted one of the kittens, I secretly hoped that one would be white and hoped more that it would be a girl to compliment my male cat elvis. There were eight kittens born in the litter, one was stillborn and four others died of an unkown virus. Of the three remaining kittens there was one white one and it happened to be a girl. I was so worried she would get the infection and die too, but I would pick her up and tell her, " you WILL live!" I tried to think of a name that had will in it, and willow popped up, it was perfect!
