Dedication

To the soul who stayed when all else fell away—

Guardian of safe spaces and healer of unseen wounds,
You are not just a dog.
You are a sentinel of the heart,
A soft strength woven into fur and sacredness.

You came not to fix what was breaking,
But to stand with me while it broke.

And that...was everything.

You can break away from family ties, but you can’t break away from soul tethers.

We honor your love,
Your loyalty,
Your lasting light.

I walked you into a world of daily devotion
So you would never have to go a single day without that kind of love again.
You held me through the fire
and warmed my heart in ways that didn’t leave me burned.

And now, I walk with your pawprints on my spirit.
Forged through the fire as I fight for your soul’s return.

Knowing we are more than the moments in which we appear to be separated.

I’ve already reunited with you in every other lifetime.
I know with every fiber of my being and from the bottom of my heart,
We have already come home to each other.
The world is catching up to that part.
We are One. We can never be apart.
