The last time I threw the stick, everything seemed just as it always was. She dashed forward like a whirlwind, eyes sparkling, joy radiating from every leap. Luna — my faithful friend, my little rebel with a boundless heart. But that day, everything changed. She ran… and never came back.
At that moment, I didn’t yet realize that this throw would be the last. I called her name, scanned every bush, strained to hear even the faintest rustle. But the forest seemed to hold its breath. Silence — once comforting — now pressed in on me, heavy and cruel.
She Was More Than Just a Dog
Luna came into my life when I had almost stopped believing in miracles. A small ball of fur who, from the first glance, claimed a place in my heart. She felt everything — my joys, my sorrows, my fears. In storms, she would hide her nose in my hands; in sunshine, she would run through the fields for hours, pulling even the grimmest strangers into her whirlwind of joy.
We were partners in everything: in mischief, in adventures, in quiet evenings by the fireplace. I spoke — she listened. Not because she understood the words, but because she felt the truth within them.
The Moment That Changed Everything
That day, her heart stopped beating. The wind seemed to carry her away along with the leaves. And my own heart… broke. Only the unmoving leash hanging by the door remained. Only her scent on the old blanket. Only the empty space at my feet.
The house has become too quiet. Too empty. Even the sound of rain cannot fill the void. I find myself waiting for her — any moment now, I’ll hear the tap of her paws on the floor. But silence does not lie.
A Memory That Will Live Forever
Luna was my miracle, my gift from fate. And though she is no longer by my side, she lives on in every breath I take, in every beat of my heart. They say time heals. But there are wounds that never fully close.
I know that one day we will meet again — somewhere without pain or farewells. Until then… I will carry her inside me. Always.
Sleep well, my Luna. You were my light, my salvation, and my truest friend.
