Some cultures believe the Milky Way is more than a galaxy of stars. It’s a pathway, a bridge between this world and the next. A place where souls travel, watch over us, and sometimes guide us exactly where we need to be.
A year ago today, we adopted Cappy from But her story with us almost ended before it even began. We originally fostered her for just 3 days before she went to a foster-to-adopt home. At the time, I had absolutely no intention of bringing another dog into our lives so soon after losing Kobe. We just wanted to foster to help other dogs in need.
But during the week she was gone, something felt missing in our home. The silence felt heavy again. And then, unexpectedly, she was returned.
The moment she came back, it felt like a sign.
Like Kobe was that brightest star in the night’s sky telling her, “Go find them. They need you.” Cappy was never meant to replace Kobe, no one ever could. But somehow she arrived exactly when our hearts needed some saving.
I’ve learned to appreciate that cyclical rhythm between love and loss. The connection never really disappears, it just changes in ways we can never fully explain 🌌
Happy Gotcha Day ❤️
