My sweet boy we knew the day of saying our goodbyes was approaching but nothing could’ve prepared us to face the reality of your absence in our home. We try to find comfort thinking that you lived a long beautiful life, that you didn’t suffer for long before going, that you couldn’t have been more spoiled. But for now nothing gives us consolation and tears flow like rivers. One day when your name is spoken we will smile and remember your ears opening wide and high to the word “vamos”, your races to the kitchen after a “galletita”, your devotion following us around the house like a little shadow. We will remember your naughty young years when you made us run up the street every time the door would open or biting to pieces James’ art homework. I’ll always remember how you waited for us sitting in the front porch that day we moved houses and the gate was left open. You could’ve left, you could’ve run to the park as you used to do, but you stayed. We will always remember our walks, our nights in front of the TV, your barking at thunderstorms or the doorbell, your happiness when going for a ride in the car with your face smiling against the wind taking the world in.

But what we will never forget is that you taught us to love each other, with patience and devotion, will and loyalty.

Good night sweet boy.

Thanks everyone for your words and for reading this. He was such a personality and we are so fortunate to have had him for all these years. And fortunate also to have all the memories he left with us before going for the ultimate ride.
