<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The sun has set and risen, and for the first time in 21 beautiful, loving years, you are not here by my side.<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

When I’m left alone in the silence, thoughts trickle down into my heart and I wonder.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Did I kiss your forehead enough times?<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Did I hug you long enough, as close to my heart as possible?<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Did I cherish and treasure you properly?<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Were you happy and comfortable?<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Did I tell you how much I love you, maybe not with words, but with every atom of my being, every thought released into the universe?<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I’d like to think so.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Every night I fell asleep and woke up to you laying next to me. How can I summarize how much you meant to me with words? You were everything to me and taught me, in only a way a lifelong companion could, how to love unconditionally, and wholly.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

They said 5 years ago that you had 2-3 years left at most. But you were a fighter, and you had to see me through the worst years of my life to make sure I came out of them safely. How many times did I cry while holding you in my arms, being comforted by your gentleness and warmth? How many times did I fall asleep knowing you were watching over me? I know you still will, even after this. <\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You’ve been with me since I was 9, I gave you the name Nibbles because you always played with my stuffed animals and carried them down the stairs everywhere. You were just barely my second pet, and I was such a handful. But you filled my life with so much joy and love. I know you touched the hearts of so many of my friends, family, and even strangers. I will always love you, and I know you will always love me.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
It’s going to be so hard without you, you’ve been with me for most of my life, and we grew up together.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
But I would do this all again a hundred times over. After loving and being loved by you, I know we would find each other again, every time.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
You will always be my funny baby girl. Thank you for everything. I love you so, so much.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
