Our dear sweet and brave Jake,
We miss you so much, especially me (your Mama). I seek you every morning when I wake up, and every night before going to bed. I miss our morning and afternoon routines. I miss your smell, your warm belly, your fart (lol), your snore, your angry bark when you think you did not get enough treats, your angry face when I come home when I had to go for errands, your noisy footsteps at night, the way you stretch your long body, our short walks, your side eyes, and you looking at me with so much love. I miss everything about you.
I remembered the day I was told that a dog is to be rehomed with us. I KNEW I LOVE YOU BEFORE I MET YOU. I asked my friends who have pets on how to take care of one. I had no plans to take care of a dog. YOU CHOSE ME. And I am forever grateful for that.
You changed my life in many ways. I learned to be more patient, to show how much love I can give, and how to become a mother. Yes, you are not just a pet. You are my son. And you know how I love you so much.
I am sorry if I have failed you. I could have done more, maybe you are still here with us. But knowing that you are in a better place right now, not feeling any more pain, I am comforted. The pain gets deeper and deeper day by day, but I don't want the pain to go away because it reminds me that I once had a strong, brave, nonchalant, and sweet little boy.
Run free my love. Play as much as you want. Be happy and healthy. We are going to meet again someday.
The heaven just gained another angel. For now, just watch us from above. I will continue to sing for you every day until I can carry you again and sing the lullabies you used to hear.
We love you so much babi. Until we meet again.
Love,
Mama, Tita, Tito, Lolo, and Lola ❤️
Jake
