Luigi Forever in My Heart!

Mom brought you home a 9 week old black pug pup born on the 17/09/2014. I fell in love with my new friend, even though you drove us crazy.

I never knew that in some time you would become the best part of my day. I attached to you more than anything and you certainly entered my heart so deeply that I am broken without you, my boy.

The bed feels empty, no one to go crazy at the cartoons and zombies on TV, no one to scream "where you been?" when we get home.

The day I never knew was your last, 04/02/2019, was the worst day of my life. So unexpected, everything was normal and you were playful and just being you.

I never knew that was the last wag of your tail for bedtime, as if you where telling me it will be okay. You passed away sleeping at Daddy's feet for reasons we will never know, a mere 4 years and 4 months old.

I know I will see you again, my precious boy, just not soon enough. I know you are in a great place forever now.

Daddy loves you forever and ever, my precious boy! A massive part of my heart is missing.

I love you, Luigi!
