Shadow,
It has been six, long months since I told you goodbye. It still hurts. I think of you all the time. I miss you following me through the house and how you used to get so excited to go for a ride in the car. I still look for you when I come home to greet me at the door and then sadly remember that you are no longer here.
I keep your picture on my desk so I can still see you everyday. Things are so different without you here. I’m sure I will feel better with time, but for now, I still cry when I see your picture or think of you. I wish that you could still be by my side but I know the decision we made together was for the best. I didn’t want you to have any more pain. I did what had to be done even though my heart was breaking as I watched you close those beautiful eyes for the last time.
I miss you more than I ever thought I would. No other dog could ever replace you. You were too special. I know that you are waiting for me and I will see you again someday.
Until then, I will cherish the memories I have of you. You were my best friend. Thank you for sharing your life with me even if it took us several years to find each other. I know that we were meant to spend the rest of your life together. I love you still!
All my love, Shadow!
