One year ago yesterday, we lost our sweet Mia.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her.
Sometimes, when a yellow butterfly suddenly flies close to my window or around me, I feel her presence even more near, as if she’s reminding me that love never truly leaves us.
I miss her every single day.
I miss her beautiful face, her company, her crazy personality, and all the joy she brought into our lives.
At the same time, my heart is grateful. Grateful that God gave me the opportunity to experience such a special love through Mia, and grateful that He later brought another loving and crazy companion into our lives. It’s not the same love, because every dog is unique, but it is another beautiful kind of love.
I hope Mia is now running free, chasing pigeons, squirrels, bunnies, and every little animal she loved to chase here on earth. I hope she is healthy, happy, playing freely with other dogs, and feeling nothing but peace and joy.
And more than anything, I hope she knows how deeply we loved her — and how we always will.
