He was my hopes, my dreams, my life. He gave me courage and strength when I could not find my own. He was sometimes my only reason for living. He listened to my every word, seemingly with understanding and sympathy. He did not pass judgement on me nor did he criticize me for what I did or who I was.
He expressed countless times that I was his world, the very reason for his existence. Not with words but by the way he would sadden when I would leave and not take him with me and then greet me with hard contained happiness and eyes that were bright upon my return, by the way he would gently lean against me to offer reassurance or lay his head upon my lap to ease my sorrow.
He was there, always, tail wagging at even the hint of a smile and the oh, the excitement shown at the opportunity to play. Silently his presence was known, felt. He would have given his life for mine with no hesitation, no regrets, no second thoughts. He fought my demons many times when I could not do so myself. He would have taken on anything that dare to threaten me or try to cause me harm no matter how big, tough or scary it was. He would have done so with everything he had and everything he was until there was no breath left in him.
He was my eyes when I could not see and my ears when I could not hear. He was my light in the dark and he helped to steer me in the right direction. He gave me everything and asked for nothing in return. He taught me the true meaning of loyalty, devotion and undying love.
He warmed my heart and touched my life in a way that it will never be the same, and I would not want it to be. But now he is gone and I feel as if my heart is broken into a million pieces and there is an undeniable emptiness that can not be filled, for he is irreplaceable. I ache from the very depths of my soul and at times it seems difficult to breathe.
Yet I would not give up even one moment of what we shared, or our extraordinary bond, not for anything. He taught me so much, enriched my life and made me a better person. Without him I surely would have been nothing.
So it is now that I try to take comfort in the memories that I hold so dear and hope that he knows that he is my heart to stay and that is where I will love him, forever and ever.

I can certainly relate.

My youngest daughters dog had puppies.
I named her hope.

| a beautiful poem. your furry friend obviously meant a great deal to you and you expressed your emotions well. I have a short and sweet poem you may like called "the friends that I will always love" in my journal. it is about my three goregous cats which sadly died withing three months of each other. i was pained for months after. |
