For the first time in 13 years I came home and you weren’t waiting for me at the front door. I walked from room to room without hearing the tapping of your nails following close behind. When I opened the fridge your little freckled nose wasn’t there waiting for a baby carrot (or ten). Your hair still clings to the bottom of my socks when I walk around the house, and I just can’t bring myself to vacuum these floors. Everywhere I turn, I’m reminded of you.
You taught me so much in thirteen years. And now when I go on walks I make sure to go a little slower and stop to smell the flowers 🌸
I didn’t know a pain like this existed. I miss you so much bubba. Thank you for being the best friend a girl could ever ask for. I’ll see you again someday when I get home.
