This past weekend, our beloved family dog passed away. He shared his life, loyalty and love with us for almost fifteen years. I'm still at a loss for words and trying to figure out how life works without him. I wait for his barks when someone pulls into the driveway. I look for him out on the porch. I swear I keep seeing him out of the corner of my eye, watching over us and the farm. My heart swells with love and gratitude and burns with grief and loss as my mind attempts to learn new patterns of the day.
Thank you, Baraka. Thank you for teaching me about unconditional love, for always being there, for protecting and loving us, for your wise and watchful eyes, for your ceaseless playful energy, and above all else for being a part of our lives and a beautiful member of our family. You will be forever and always in our hearts and part of the pack.
