Memories of Bentley
My dearest Bentley. You took your very last breath on December 1st around 5:00 pm and my life has never been the same.

Flying to California in November of 2022 to pick you up 2 years ago was a wild thing to do, you were already 9 but I wanted to give you a chance to feel real love with us, it was my dream to adopt a senior. I will never forget how happy you were when we first met in the backyard you were living in and how soundly you slept on our first portion to Las Vegas on the start of our long drive back to NJ. You were a dream, you loved your first hamburger, first snow, first bites of all the new foods that would excite you beyond all belief and of course never ended until your final day when you had chocolate chip pancakes, pizza, a small bite of chicken Marsala and then you could not eat anymore... oh you how loved food so much, maybe more than you loved us!

My heart is heavy with the ache of missing you. The house feels quieter, a little emptier, without your joyful presence. I keep expecting to see you in your favorite spots around the house or hear the sound of your paws as you came running when the kitchen was filled with delicious smells, heard the refrigerator or just wanted to be near. There is nobody for us to bring all the delicious leftovers that you so loved and waited for multiple times a week home for. Our lives will never be the same.

I want you to know that you were and always will be one of my greatest joys in life. You brought so much love, laughter, and comfort to my days. I deeply miss your warmth and the unconditional love you gave so freely, I have no idea about your past but it felt lonely.

I am grateful for every moment we had together, even as I wish there could have been more. You were almost 12, you were so sick and you surely hid it from us well, only finding out 6 days before you left us. I wish I was able to hold you tighter during your final breath but I was holding your paw and I hope you felt me, I saw you look at up at your human brother before you said goodbye, I could see the love. I still listen for you in the house, sometimes I even think I hear you. We all miss you so much. Your name is constantly said. I hope you met Cash and I hope he's being kind.

I'lll forever remember your sweetness and how much you changed my life for the better. I miss you more than words can say, and I'll keep missing you every day until we meet again. Thank you for being the beautiful kindest soul you were. I'll always love you.

"Your gentle eyes, so full of love and grace,
Now closed forever, in an eternal embrace,
Your warmth, your snuggles, oh, how I miss,
The way you brightened each moment with bliss."

If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
