Another Day

Another day has passed and they seem so empty without you. I’ll be so glad when I can think of you without sobbing. This Christmas is going to be so sad without you. In fact, I’m not even celebrating it this year. Your death, along with some other things that happened this year (loss of dad, very ill sweetheart), I just don’t feel like celebrating. I just wish it were January already. I miss you so.

Your charm arrived today and I’ll always wear it. I had the heart added at the bottom.I know how much you loved your rawhides. I loved how you would greet me when I got home. You’d have one in your mouth and take off back to the computer room. You’d be in the play bow position wagging your tail, looking at me, waiting for me to try and get it from you. Your fierce growls didn’t scare me but they did everyone else. Then I’d tell you "All right, it’s yours." and you’d lay down and start happily chewing. I’d give anything to do that with you again. I now know how people can die from a broken heart. Mine feels like it could shatter at any minute. Don’t ever forget how much I love you.
