Codah, you were my joy.
My light, my companion, my shadow, my everything.
Although I’ve been through this before, this time it’s different.
This time, this dog, you, I owe my life too.
Codah, you and your brother made me who I am, the reason I do what I do.
Home was wherever you were & so every minute of my day is different without you.
I thank you for teaching me the true meaning of unconditional love & loyalty, what a true bond really is.
I think I’ve gone numb & delayed writing this post knowing it would make me break but you my boy, deserve my strength.
I am so beyond grateful for the 14 years we got.
I am so beyond grateful for the love & friendship you provided me.
I am so beyond grateful you were by my side when life was rough but also when life granted us blessings.
Thank you for doing things you didn’t want to, thank you for training when you were tired, thank you for sharing me when you didn’t want to, thank you for loving me even when I disappointed you but most of all, thank you for being the best friend, who was always there to welcome me home - who would wait outside the shower to protect me - who wouldn’t walk ahead of me - who’d make me laugh and smile on my worst days & who made me feel like someone always wanted & needed me.
I love you forever & always C.
I’ve basically lived half my life with you by my side & now to figure out how to live the rest of my life without you.
Until we meet again 🤍
