My Hardest Goodbye —

Yesterday after going on our final ride, including his fav places (even one last bite of a White Castle) I said my hardest goodbye to my four legged soulmate.
He taught me everything I know about the word unconditional and showed me how a companion ought to live. He was my best buddy and anyone who knows me knew it.
Today, the house is empty, the car is lonely and my heart is broken. Every sign says it was the right thing to do but it has left the worst feeling….I guess both things can be true. They say we grieve because we loved…..I misjudged my love.
It was all worth it.

Fly High Forever…..Skit.
