One year without you.

How has it been a year? It still feels like yesterday. While simultaneously seeming as it’s been a lifetime since I’ve last kissed your sweet face. Losing you is I think the hardest thing I’ve had to go through in this life so far. None of it was fair. You deserved more time. You were so healthy. Cancer wasn’t supposed to ever find you.

I am so grateful for you, though. You shaped my life in more ways than I ever imagined. You changed the entire trajectory of my career, my priorities and I learned true unrequited love and happiness from you. You are my greatest gift.

Thank you for sending Juniper our way. Somehow you knew we would be ok and knew that she was exactly what we needed. I never wanted her to be an only dog at four months old, but that’s what was in the cards I guess. She has been such a light, and has helped me immeasurably in my grief. I am so very glad that she is related to you. It makes it even sweeter.

I will miss you every day for the rest of my life Oli. Thank you for everything you gave me. I am so sorry that I couldn’t give you more. I hope your soul still lives on and that I’ll be able to see you again some day. I love you so much Oliver. ♥️

Low quality photo, high quality memories.

Juniper and Oli would have been such good friends. She was supposed to be his forever friend for a few years. They only got 6-weeks. I guess it was sort of a good thing that Juni wasn’t bonded to him yet, but I still think they both got cheated in knowing one another. 💔

I brought Juniper to her first Tulip Fest this year. A tradition that Oli and I had for nearly a decade.
The experience was so bittersweet. Within the first 10 minutes in the fields, I had to sit down and cry and mourn Oli. Juniper did her usual thing of staying on my lap, or directly at my side until I regulated once more. She’s always been so untuned to my emotions, and I’m so thankful for her. I spread a small amount of Oliver’s ashes in the fields so he can still attend the festival every year. I wanted to be respectful and not add contamination to the flowers, but felt it was necessary for a part of him to rest there.
This was also the first time I actually took photos of Juni with my camera. I just couldn’t find the drive or desire to do so until then. I do regret this since I don’t have such nice pictures of Juniper’s adolescence, but grief is really a bitch. However, she was such a photogenic rockstar. Following her Uncle’s steps at being my little model ♥️

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Oli. You would have been 11 years old today. Your first birthday no longer Earth side. April Fools was the best day you could have ever been born, because you woot forever be my goofy boy. No tricks and pranks, just extreme sadness mixed with a deep appreciation that I got to spend a decade with you. I always thought you’d still be here.

I will celebrate you this week by taking Juniper to her first Tulip Festival. It was such a joy to bring you every year. Some of my favorite photos of you are with the tulips. I am going to bring some of your ashes so you can still attend every year 🌷

Hopefully you’re running free on the beach with your friends that are unfortunately also no longer here. I really hope I get to see you on the other side when the time comes. I love you, and Happy Birthday, bud.

Our first Christmas without you in ten years, Oli. Watching you opening your presents is on of my favorite memories. You knew the word ‘Christmas’ meant that you would get boxes to open, and the way you would perk up was so sweet. We miss you so damn much. What I would give to have you here. Four months without you has felt like a lifetime.

We are teaching Juniper how to open gifts. She could use your guidance! I still feel guilty that I haven’t had the desire to pick up my camera to take more photos and memories of her yet. Our bond is definitely strengthening, and I’m slowly wanting to take her on all the adventures you got to experience. 🎄
