They may be gone from our arms, but they never leave our hearts.
Some nights are quieter, and that silence hits the hardest, but love like theirs does not end - it just changes shape.
It becomes the leash you still reach for out of habit, the spot on the couch that still feels like “theirs,” and the sudden memories that make you smile and ache at the same time.
If you have ever loved a dog, you know they made a home inside you. And that home stays lit, even on the darkest days.
Tonight I am thinking of every good dog who crossed the Rainbow Bridge - the ones who gave us the purest friendship, the safest comfort, and the best years without asking for anything back.
