Dear Hank,
.
Do you know that I love you?
.
When we first met,
you sat next to me on the back step
and licked the tears off my tender face.
I knew I loved you at that moment.
.
I can feel you breathing at my feet.
I love when you lay with me on the bed.
I can’t help but cry when I think about life without you by my side.
.
Somedays, I get overwhelmed with joy thinking about you.
When people ask to see pictures
I delight in sharing your sweet face.
My cheeks flush with life
and my heart flutters.
.
Do you know that I love you?
.
I wonder, do you know that you are sick.
and if you know what we are saying when we are around.
I know you can read energies.
.
Love is vulnerable my sweet boy.
.
Love is vulnerable.
.
I can’t imagine life without you.
.
You’re my lovely little shadow
trailing my every move
as we make our way around
the house.
.
Your rich milk chocolate eyes drip with wisdom and serenity.
I wish I knew what you think in your doggie brain.
.
Thank you for being my friend, my family, my companion.
I will forever and always love you.
.
Love,
Jayleen
