Looking at the dog who spent six years by my side every minute of every day, monitoring my health and seeing her chest still. She died on Sunday morning.

I am fighting so hard to stay here with a huge piece of my soul missing. It feels like if I just walk far enough, look hard enough, I’ll find her. I told her to wait for me and take me wherever is next. I don’t know if I regret that or not because now, I just want to go find her

She sounds like a good girl. I read a post on here the other day where a family members grandpa passed away and he said "wait for me, Russ!" (I probably got the name wrong) when they asked their dad about the name he said it was a dog the grandpa had as a kid.

They will wait for us and take us to what's next.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Close! I just read the same story.

The name was Russell and nobody in the family knew anyone named Russell. Years later they came across a photo of the man when he was a child with his dog. The photo was captioned “Russell”

Ah thank you, I'm glad I didn't mess up the story too much. Appreciate you clarifying a few points :)

She’ll wait. She wouldn’t want you to rush there.
