Two of my favorite people lost their sweet Dakota this weekend. They are heartbroken. I am heartbroken for them.
I wasn't sure I would talk about this loss here. But I found that I couldn't talk about anything else. This is all that is on my mind.
Losing someone you love when they leave this earth is truly hard. And really, really sad. And this weekend, my loved ones experienced this loss with Dakota. The fact that Dakota is a German Shepherd does not change that she is a "someone".
I have nothing I can offer to ease their sadness. My own losses do not offer any comfort. One loss does not ease the burden of another loss.
All I can do is let them know I love them. Let them know I loved her. Let them know I am sorry for this hole they have in their heart.
I can honor their loss by honoring Dakota's memory. I can honor her life and the happiness she gave while she was with us. Dakota will be missed. Perhaps this is all there is to say.
