It’s been a whole year without Daisy

Today is the first anniversary of losing our family heart dog. We got her after my stepdad suddenly passed away and she became such a light in our house. When we left the house for college, moved out on our own, got our hearts broken, got married, she was there for all of it and she was my mom’s best friend. She got sick from lymphoma 2 months before her 15th birthday and it progressed really quickly.

We’ve lost human loved ones before, but pet grief is really something else and it’s been a dark first year without her. She was my anxious rescue dog’s only friend and losing her has had such an impact in our everyday lives. Sometimes it feels like the world is turning against our wills.

She loved the park, pizza crust, and ruling the neighborhood.

Miss you, Daisy.
