It was a cold December night when a deer caught your attention. I’m sure as you ran after him you weren’t thinking you might not make it back. I often wonder when it hit you that you were lost. How scared you must have been. How disappointed you must have been in me when I didn’t come get you that night. I searched everywhere. I asked everyone. I tried so hard to find you. I never meant to let you down. It was my job to keep you safe.

There is an empty place in my home and in my heart. I’ve lost my best friend. I hope you know I tried everything I could to find you and bring you home to us. I can only hope you ended up with someone that will love you as much as we do and that you are happy.

Until we meet again my best friend. I’ll save the empty spot in my heart for you to fill again.
