This weekend while I was away my heart was taken from me. I left you with someone I thought I could trust to protect you and keep you safe. Instead she intentionally locked you out of the house. My sister found you. The empty shell that was you. I screamed… for hours I screamed. A crushing pain I didn’t expect so soon. Three years was not enough time. You were a good boy. Your protected me and made my house feel like a home. Now these four walls feel hollow and empty. You brought life to this house. I wake up alone because you aren’t under the covers with me. I eat alone because you aren’t under the table at my feet. I’m trying hard not to feel hate and rage. I talk of you in present tense. I think I always will. Your ashes will be home soon. In time for your birthday. I have a special place for you. Your kitty friends are looking for you. They’ve been gathering in the backyard. I think they know. I love you so much. I will forever miss you. Run free forever in the fields of heaven my sweet pup.
