Sephora
Have you seen the morning sunshine grace the side of an ancient mountain? The beauty of warmth, radiance and peace. You can see a dog peer out from the tips of the peaks. A dog that stands proud and strong, a princess, a queen. Her stance and smile have always hung true. My daughter a power beyond all of time.
Even when she left us, she stayed strongly on the side of the mystical. The pain she had fought, the happiness she had provided, we are thankful for every second of everyday and we are so god damn proud. Of course we wish there was more time. Time with her happy and healthy, were she didn’t have to hold herself up to breathe. I wish I could have taken it all away, every ounce of pain from before you knew us till eternal sleep. I wish there was a path where her health and safety wasn’t a choice but something deserving of the goddess she had been.
This place that she had graced as home as a journey in the physical form, this very soil is now sacred, this very island is a realm of little saints. She showed us a love that lives on. A magic that flow through us humbly.
Sometimes happiness is strange in the form of loss. Happiness so big that it engulfs your egos. Not happy to lose but happy to know that the lords of death have calmly and lovingly taken and guided my daughter into the very fabric of the universe. To a place where she is having fun with her brothers, waiting patiently for the food that mom will eventually bring.
Surrounded by the love of your mother, guide yourself to every star, every kitchen and every galaxy you wish to explore, until daddy and space ivy can come be with you. You were more than a dog, you were a hero, a friend, a teacher. You taught us how to love unconditionally, how to live in the moment, how to enjoy the simple things. You were always there for us, through thick and thin, through joy and sorrow, through laughter and tears. You were our sunshine, our moonlight, our starlight. You were our everything.
We miss you so much, every day, every hour, every minute. We miss your bunny hop, your all seeing eyes, your dirty fur. We miss your attitude , your smell, your cuddle. We miss your presence, your energy, your spirit. We miss you, we miss you, we miss you.
But we know you are not gone, you are still with us, in our hearts, in our memories, in our dreams. You are still watching over us, protecting us, guiding us. You are still cheesing at us with that crooked smile, loving us, blessing us. You are still here, you are still there, you are still everywhere.
We love you so much, more than words can say, more than tears can show, more than time can heal. We love you with all our being, all our soul, all our essence. We love you forever, we love you always, we love you eternally.
You are our angel, our miracle, our wonder. You are our dog, our daughter, our goddess. You are our Sephora, our Gordita, our beautiful old lady.
Though time will take its toll on us and it will seem like forever, I will see you soon. I will find you and let you know how proud I am of you. Wherever, whenever that is I will find you there and god I just can’t wait to see you in all your glory.
