If you ask the grown-ups from my childhood, they’ll tell you I spoke to animals first 🐦⬛I don’t know what it was, but I just had this innate capacity to truly see them—and to be seen by them in return.
Today, I had to say goodbye to one of my soulmates, Dante. He came into my life at the end of 2012, right during what was the hardest year of my life.
Back then, he was just a little puppy with the cutest cowlick on his back, the sweetest green eyes, and the stinkiest farts 😆
He would spin in circles out of pure joy and somehow find a way to befriend even the grumpiest animals AND PEOPLE 🙌🏾 He wasn’t just my soulmate🥺he was a hero to so many others, too, saving lives as a blood donor.
Today, he rests easy on a pillow of flowers 🌺 knowing he is loved until the end of time.
It’s so hard to say goodbye, Dante, but I know I’ll see you on the other side🌈
