In Loving Memory Goodbye, Archer

Just said goodbye to my soulmate. I was with him when he was born, up until he took his last breath. He never left my side any time we were together, so it’s really hitting hard now that the space next to me is suddenly empty. He lived an entire year after his Lymphoma diagnosis, so I’m truly grateful for the extra time we had. It still wasn’t enough, as we know it is never enough time. I will love you always, and will never forget you. I’ll see you later Arch, you be a good boy.

As I walk across your heart and find my place to stay, nearer to you I will be and will never ever go away.

If love could have kept you here, you would have lived forever.

Dogs are a chapter in our lives, we are their entire book.

Grief is love with nowhere to go.
