Thank you for all the birthday wishes. There’s a strange ache in holding celebration and grief in the same moment. Birthdays mark the passage of a life. And maybe his soul chose this day to leave because our stories were always meant to be connected. Bruschi, you quietly stood by my side for over 15 years. I thought I was giving you a good life, but in truth it was the opposite. How could we stay home when there’s a beautiful world to explore? Riding waves in Montauk, hiking blydenburgh, swimming in the bay and our long walks on the beach. Those big brown eyes always excited in the car on the journey out, sleeping in the back seat on the way home . After all these years of loyalty, comfort and unconditional love, this isn’t an ending. My birthday will never just be about getting older again.
It will also hold the memory of a love so deep that even goodbye became part of my story forever. And i will let every birthday be a reminder to love as you did. And one day, when i run out of birthdays, you will be there to greet me, soaking wet after a swim with a ball in your mouth running full speed, tail whipping in a circle 🎾 ❤️ 🐾
