I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.

I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.

I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.

I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.
But oh how I felt it.

I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.
I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.

Yes, I missed you so quietly today.

But I felt it so loudly xx

I love this post. Dog's really are mental health saviours. ❤️

Over the last 10 years, l've often felt lonely, isolated, and at times stressed - feelings most founders will know well. I know this sounds strange, but one of the most underrated antidotes has been my dog, Pablo, who's been by my side for the best part of a decade.

Of course Dogs are known for their unconditional love, but as a founder Pablo has made me remember that life can be simple - he's helped me realise that most of my worries don't actually matter.

After a difficult day, watching him play with a bottle cap or get excited by a stick has been an interesting reminder that we can find happiness and joy in simple things and that much of our struggle is a consequence of our own overcomplicated perspective, overthinking and self-focus.

Pablo is now entering the final season of his life and has some walking issues. I know it might sound strange - especially to someone who's never had a dog - but I wish he could understand how much he's done for me, how deeply he's helped me at times, and how much I'll miss him when he's gone.

Once we had placed the coffin at the front of the chapel, I was asked if I would open a can of bitter, pour this into a pint glass and place on top of the coffin.

What I never expected was to suddenly be overcome with nerves and my hands to start shaking as the mourners looked my way.

It was however the perfect pint and the family truly appreciated this personalised gesture. ❤️
