Dearest Delilah,
It has been 365 days since I last held and kissed you. I want you to know how much I miss you. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of you and tear up and there are many days when I still outright sob.
Sweet Delilah
Your passing left a hole in my soul that I can’t close, no matter how hard I try. There are so many things I miss.
- Those little grumbles you made when I moved my feet while you were sleeping.
- How you insisted you were a lap dog, despite being almost 70 pounds.
- How you jumped when I prepared your dinner.
- How you’d meet me at the top of the stairs, with a toy in your mouth when I came home.
- How willing you were to go for a walk, even in the cold and dark weather.
Most of all, I want to thank you for saving me after Sampson left. You kept me going, gave me a sense of normalcy.
I talk to you and Sampson every night (as you know.) But I wanted to write this here, to let you know how much I loved and still love you and how I miss you with my whole heart.
Until we meet at the bridge, my love.
Your devoted Mom
(To the few of you who still read this blog, I do have plans to post about Delilah’s passing, I just can’t bring myself to finish it yet. Thank you for hanging in there with me.)
