7 years ago today I picked up Walter. I remember the “oh s**t” moment of like I have to take care of this guy. In reality I had no idea how much he would take care of me. From wiping all the tears away, to laying with me as long as I need, to forcing me to get up with that puppy stare.
I have never known grief this deep. It comes in waves. It’s confusing. It’s overwhelming. It can make you feel numb. It’s earth shattering. But through this immense grief it is teaching me about compassion, empathy, love, kindness and how to support others.
I know I/we all have a long journey of healing ahead of us but I am grateful for the bonds that have grown stronger through Bry.
I am Thankful for the time Bry and I had together with Walter and now even more thankful for my four legged kid.
Life is so short. Make the time 🙏
