Today, my baby boy, my shadow, my... everything... Passed away. He was going to be 7 years old this June.
He just came back from being outside. He was at the front door, barking at the kids walking home from school. By the time my mother got to him, he had collapsed to the floor. In a matter of moments, he was gone. So sudden, my world shattered.
Those who know me, know that I have never really looked at Orion as a dog. He was family. He was more than family. He was my baby boy, my "little track star". I joked when I said he was my "son", but, he was to me. From only being a few weeks old, he had my heart.
After my mom called me while I was at work, I raced home... I was too late. The moment I saw him, I lost breath, and... the hurt... My baby boy is gone... And I sit here, torn apart. I can barely keep myself from breaking down. Everywhere I turn, I am reminded of him.
Orion:
I love you! I miss you more than any words could ever begin to describe. You have always been my baby boy. You have always been everything to me.
This isnt "goodbye". I promise you that, one day, when it is my time, I will come find you. For now, keep Aunt Arlene and Grandpa Charlie company. Take care of Higgins, Jessie and Ginger. One day, we will again be together.
My baby boy... Sleep... Daddy loves you... Always!
