And so, the day we’ve been dreading for a long time finally arrived. We had to say goodbye to Benson this weekend. Like all dogs, he was the absolute best dog in the universe and was full of so much love for us right up until the end.
He’s been such an integral part of our lives, an integral part of our family, for over 12 years. Looking back now, less than 24 hours later, it’s hard to believe how fast it all went by. I find myself looking back at random photos and videos that I’ve forgotten about and breaking down. I’m reliving and re-experiencing moments that we’ll never have with him again.
I know that someday soon we’ll all feel better, and feel less empty, and the memories of him will hurt less. But as I sit here at my desk, I look down at the spot where he’d be laying, and just can’t process the fact that he’s gone.
