1 year has passed since you walked beside me but you are always in my thoughts and forever in my heart. ✨💖Bronx💖✨
As humans, most of us have built up walls and defenses to keep ourselves safe. We guard our childhood wounds like ninja warriors and keep other humans at a safe distance through fear of getting hurt. This is how we survive.
But to thrive, our hearts need connection and love and warmth.
And this is where our beloved animals come in…..
They dig their way under our barbed wire fences and squeeze through cracks in our fragile ego, and before we know it, they are deeply rooted in our hearts, radiating pure love and joy. They melt our rigid barriers and heal us.
When an animal’s journey with us comes to an end, their mission is complete, they have one final task…. To break our hearts open so we can feel the full capacity of the love we have to give.
“Grief isn’t the absence of love. Grief is the proof that love is still there.” -Tessa Shaffer
