When I was 22, I decided I wanted to get a dog-a pup I could adventure with and cuddle with while I watched movies. What I didn’t know, was that this little girl would crack my heart wide open and become one of the greatest loves of my life.
I didn’t know she would live with me in four different states and eighteen different homes over the span of fifteen years. I didn’t know she would be there with me for every new love, heartbreak, move, or job change. I didn’t know then that she would be there through the loss of both my parents. I didn’t know she would be with me through pregnancy or that she would meet my firstborn son. Yet she was, through all of it.
Every day for nearly fifteen years, this little one was loved and cherished by me and by everyone who knew her. I hope I gave her a life full of love, adventure, comfort, and excitement. I hope she knows that I would choose her again and again if I could.
Last night, she passed away at home in her bed. I was with her every moment- whispering I love you and thanking her for the life we’ve shared, until her final breath. Something shifted in me the moment she entered my life, and something has shifted again in her absence.
The pain I feel now is a privilege, because I got to experience a love as deep as the one I had for my darling Lily.
RIP sweet angel. I know i’ll see you again❤️🩹
Hubby, partner, lover, boyfriend, baby daddy, soul mate- you hold all the titles and my whole heart. My love for you only deepens with time. I thank the universe everyday for finding you and for our beautiful family. I love you @ren_jett happy Valentine’s Day❤️
