My Favorite Hello and My Hardest Goodbye.
I adopted this sweet little girl into my life in 2013 when she was 5 years old, and she’s been my devoted companion and best friend for 10.5 years. Since I work from home, we shared every moment together 24 hours a day . She began as my emotional support animal, offering unwavering love throughout the years. In 2022, she was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, and her health gradually deteriorated, affecting her hearing, sight, and energy and ability to enjoy life. On June 4, I faced the agonizing decision to put her down. She leaves a significant void in my heart, and I miss her dearly.
I was just 5 years old when we first met,
I loved you from the start.
You picked me up and took me home,
And placed me in your heart.
Good times we had together,
We shared all life could throw.
But years passed all too quickly,
My time has come to go.
I know how much you miss me,
I know your heart is sore
I see the tears that fall
When I’m not waiting at the door.
You always did your best for me,
Your love was plain to see.
For even though it broke your heart,
You set my spirit free.
So please be brave without me,
One day we’ll meet once more.
For when you’re called to heaven,
I’ll be waiting at the door.
Chloe
