To my dear Shadow:
This past year has flown by but I still think of you often. I have dreaded this day all year long as I knew it would be difficult for me to get through. Here I find myself with silent tears yet again. I miss you and wish I could hold you one more time. I know I did the right thing in easing your pain but it created such a hole in my heart.
I still feel regret for wishing I could be selfish and keep you here even longer but deep down I knew it was your time. I miss hearing your little feet on the tile in the kitchen and seeing you waiting for a treat at dinnertime. There’s no one here to greet me at the door with such enthusiasm anymore. No one here to take for walks
outside or to play ball with.
I miss the way your eyes would light up at the first sight of a jar of bubbles. You loved chasing those bubbles so much! I still love you, Shadow, and that will never change!
Someday we’ll see each other again.
I love and miss you so much!
