***On May 13, 2020, I celebrated your life entering mine, TEDDY BEAR’S GOTCHA DAY.
***On April 3, 2021, I wept in sadness and heartbreak at your life leaving mine.
***How incredibly lucky I was to have been chosen by this beautiful, gentle and loving four legged soul.
***He saw the vulnerability in me I am still learning to recognize and acknowledge.
***Showed me and others that despite being deaf, he HEARD and he LISTENED.
***Protected me from and fears and guided me to take risks and trust myself.
***We spoke to each other, sometimes with songs, dance parties, conversations, with our physical connection and through our locked eyes.
***To his last breath matching with mine
“Little light of mine, mama’s always gonna let you shine….”
