Yadi

2021

What do you say about a sweet soul that healed your own without even knowing it. Yadi came into our lives four months after us buying our first home together. He was tiny and adorable. I had no idea then that he was my heart dog or that he’d end up being my safe place when our lives got complicated. He saw us through so many tough times, times I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through without him. His sweet gentle presence just provide unexplainable comfort. His antics a smile. He fit into our lives so perfectly it was if he was chosen to be ours. I’ve never known another dog to do the things he would do, he knew how to open packages and eventually thought all packages were for him. He knew how to open presents and even hunt for Easter eggs, he knew directions by heart and would get excited when we were heading to one of his favorite places. He loved car rides, going on walks and just being with us. He brought immense joy to our lives. I will miss more than words can express him meeting me everyday at the door, getting texts from my husband that he’s waiting for me. Seeing his big smile, smelling his fur and feeling his warm little body tucked behind my knees. The hole that is left behind is much larger than his furry little body. I’m not sure there will come a day I do not reach to pet him. I hope he felt how much he was loved and I hope he’ll be at peace until we meet again. This world is too harsh for such perfect creatures. Our hearts will simply never be the same.

In the moments that are quiet I reach for you. My soul misses yours. You were our faithful companion and our truest friend. We will always love you Yadi Bear.
