When I’m gone, please promise me that you’ll continue to love the way I’ve taught you to love; try not to be sad.I believe I’ll see you again someday. When you enter those gates of heaven, I’ll come running to you, knocking you over, even though I never did that on earth.

As we sit on the deck tonight, overlooking the picturesque scenery of an old golf course, I implore you to promise me that you will allow me to depart gracefully when the time comes.

I know I am just a dog, but thank you for never making me feel like just a dog. Your love for me is the closest thing I can imagine to the depth of God’s love for us.

I’m so glad you know our creator. God will guide you through this difficult time. You’ve lost many dogs before me, and I believe each one felt as loved as I do.

Try to love the people around you, even if some don’t reciprocate your love. Step outside your music bubble and give people a chance. And for goodness’ sake, stop crying when I read these blogs to you for approval. Because, hello, I’m still here, and I want you to be at your best.

While this isn’t my official farewell, it serves as a gentle reminder to cherish the present moment. I’ve tried to instill this in you; you have the power to find happiness even after I’m gone.

Love, especially true love, can be incredibly painful when someone leaves us in this life. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to give you so much love. I am glad that I’ve shown you true love, but it is only God who has worked through me for He is true love!   Never forget that. Now, let’s just continue to sit in the rocking chair. Please hold me tight because I don’t want to ever leave you.
