Dear Murphy Brown
It has been over a month now since you have been gone. As the days pass it is harder and harder. Every day brings me the realization that you are no longer here. Sometimes I get into the truck and turn a corner and the one thing that always made me laugh was your reaction to how I drove. I never had an accident with you yet you acted like I had crashed the vehicle everytime we got in it.
Eight years is a long commitment to love. I always knew it would hurt when it was your time to go but I never realized just how much of a part of my life you were. I don’t sleep much anymore. The nightmares that once were gone are now back again. Eleanor (your sister dog) tries very hard to be protective but you and I both know she is all bark. She wakes up in the middle of the night barking trying so hard to take your place. But she and I both know that your place can never be taken.
I love you and everyday that goes by I wish you were here with me. How can I ever get over the loss of my best friend? The best friend who taught me to be a better person. With you I believed I could do anything. Now what do I do? I hope you are well.
Your mom misses you very much
