A Forever Love: My Letter to Kya, My Dearest Soulmate Dog
Kya passed away on June 16th, 2019. The day she left this world, a piece of my heart went with her. Every single day since then, I feel her absence, a deep ache that I know will never truly fade. This is my letter to her, a collection of all the words I wish I could have whispered in her ear before she departed. These are the poignant memories that flooded my mind as we drove, desperately trying to make it back in time to say a final goodbye. These are the thoughts that drifted in and out of my sleep during the long, mournful journey home. She truly was my soulmate, an irreplaceable presence in my life.
My dearest Kya,
Every morning I wake up, the world feels a little more hollow, a touch quieter since you left it. The joyful thumping of your tail on the bed as I began to stir from sleep is gone, replaced by an unsettling stillness. There are no more ecstatic howls of welcome as I unlock the door after coming home, not even if I was just out of the house for a mere five minutes. The basement, once alive with the playful wrestling of dogs and barks of excitement at the hint of any game, now feels profoundly empty. Your absence isn’t just a void; it’s a silent echo in every corner of my home, a constant reminder of the vibrant life that once filled these spaces.
