Saying Goodbye to Bingley

By Natalie

I think it hurts so much because the love is real.

Oh Bingley my boy.

How do I say goodbye to a best friend?

To one who I trusted to see more of my tears than anyone else?

To one who loved me unconditionally.

To one who trusted me.

To one who brought me such joy in such a time of sorrow.

I expected to be able to write more once I set aside the time to process, but now that I’ve opened the floodgates I think this is all I can manage for now. My eyes are so teary I can’t see my laptop screen. Bingley’s legs are stretched out into my room. His sweet little paws resting on my floor for just a little longer. Sad tunes are playing, that’s where I’m at. I believe this will take quite a few posts to work through. Thanks for following my journey, for now I’m going to lie on the floor with my buddy and reminisce with him. Please keep our family in your prayers as we walk through this difficult time and spend our last days with our beloved dog and friend. Thank you for those who have already expressed their condolences, thank you for the sweet messages. I may not be able to respond right away but I see them.
