One Last Throw, One Last Goodbye: Rest in Peace, Daisy 

My heart is shattered in a way I never imagined possible. Today, I lost my best friend—my Daisy. It happened so suddenly, so painfully. We were doing something we had done countless times before—playing fetch in the quiet comfort of our routine. I threw one last stick… and she ran after it, tail wagging, full of the same joy and energy that had lit up my life for years.

But this time… she didn’t get back up.

In a moment that felt like the whole world cracked in two, Daisy collapsed from what the vet later confirmed was a sudden heart attack. She was gone—just like that. No warning, no time to prepare. One moment full of life and love… and the next, a silence that will echo in my heart for the rest of my days.

Daisy wasn’t just a dog. She was my shadow, my partner, my family. She stood beside me through life’s highs and lows. She listened without judgment, comforted me without words, and loved me with a purity and loyalty that I could never deserve—but was blessed with every single day. She taught me how to slow down, how to be present, how to find happiness in the little things—like muddy sticks and shared sunsets.

The emptiness she leaves behind is unbearable. The house feels colder, quieter. Her toys are still scattered around. Her leash still hangs by the door. And in every corner, I see her—sleeping, playing, smiling. She gave me so many years of unconditional love… and somehow, it still feels like it wasn’t enough time.

I hope she knew, in her final moments, how deeply she was loved. I hope she felt safe, chasing that stick just like she always did, feeling free and happy right up to the very end.

Run free now, Daisy. No more pain, no more limits. Just open fields and endless joy. You took a huge piece of my heart with you… and you’ll stay there forever.

Thank you for every single moment, my beautiful girl. Until we meet again…
