January 1, 2023 Three weeks ago, I lost my best friend Albus. After holding on in a courageous, relentless fight against the continually growing mass in his liver, he had to let go. . He held on long enough for us drive to the emergency vet in the middle of the night, me in the backseat holding his paw. Long enough for us to give him kisses, and ear scratches, and tell him how much we loved him one last time. Long enough for us to say goodbye. . To say I miss him is a vast understatement. Not an hour goes by where I don't think about him and wish he were here. I'm thankful for all the time we had together and the mountains of unforgettable memories we made. I'm thankful we came into each others lives and were able to love each other for almost 8 and a half years. But damn, it hurts like hell that he's gone from this physical world. I hope we'll have the chance to be together again someday. But, for now, Albus living in my heart will have to be enough. . Albus, thank you for loving me. Thank you for moving with me across the country and making living on our own for the first time a lot less scary and lonely. . Thank you for comforting me through the worry-filled years where my dad was sick and through the grief of my dad ultimately passing away. . Thank you for being there always, especially when others weren't. . And most of all, thank you for showing me unconditional love, not judging me when I continued to judged myself. . Albus, Alby Dog, Booby, Dumbledog, thank you for everything. . You will forever be the Max to my Grinch. The Zero to my Jack. The Winn-Dixie to my Opal. My sweet boy, a lifetime with you would never have been enough. You will live eternally in my heart, my mind, and in my soul. . I love you, Albus. Always. . And I hope wherever you are now has many lambchop toys, lots of popcorn, and plenty of places to take afternoon snoozes. Your favorites. ❤️💙
