I Am Letting You Go My Dearest Friend

My dog who was only a pet but a friend, family, and my everything in this world has left this world 10 years ago but I can’t get over it. Nobody in this world could comprehend just how much he meant and was to me. He knew when I was hurt (mentally and/or physically), he knew when I was scared, cold, or even bored. He was almost like an angel in the shape of a dog. It really hurt him when I started leaving to go to public school. I feel like he was scared of no longer having a friend. Because the longer I went to school the less he was ever home. Until one day he never came back home. I knew something would have to go terribly wrong if he never came for a day let alone a month. At first I wanted to destroy the ideas of him being dead but reality hit later on about 3 months of him never coming back. Tonight before I started typing this I cried a great amount of tears because how much I love him and miss him. Knowing that I will never see him again really struck me and that’s when I lost control of my crying. But right now something is telling me to just let go but it is so hard to do such a thing. The truth is, ever since he I found out he had left this earth for all eternity I had fallen into an extreme case of depression that I still have today. Only god knows what he was to me. But I have heard god tell me that in order to live a happy life and loving life is to let someone who you love which in this case is my dog Bruno go. Remember the good things that happened and not the ones that’ll make me cry. I know Bruno would not want me to be continuously think about him and cry over it but for me to let go. God I miss him so much. I will always love him and I have always loved him. So tonight I wish I could tell him personally but I’ll tell y’all who have taken the time to read this.
“My dear Bruno, I have loved you all of my life and for all eternity but I must do the most painful thing I have ever done and tell you that I need to let go of you my dearest friend in order for me to end my depression. Just know I will always remember you and always love you but we both know that it will only make my depression worse if I don’t let go of you, always in my heart.” Bruno I must let you go now in hopes that I will see you in the afterlife. I really appreciate those who have read this to the end. Y’all mean the world to me. Please know I love you all.

R.I.P. Bruno
Best dog I’ve ever had
Love you too. I'm so sorry about Bruno. 💜
If there is any creature on the planet who would not want you to suffer over loving him, it is a dog who loves you. You have just made Bruno happy again. The most loving thing you can do for Bruno is be happy, because that is what our four-legged angels want for us.
Oh, dear...yes, I have had dogs and lost them...and it has never ever been easy. I think your notion of an angel in dog form is a good one, and does these amazing, sensitive, loving companions great credit.

It is precisely because of how amazing & loving & pure they are that our hurt is so much sharpened. Your grief does credit to the strength of your connection with Bruno, an expression of how meaningful he was to you.

I am so sorry he left your life.
I know he knows your pain and awaits you...

To all of you that commented. You have brought tears of joy to my eyes literally. It brought a feeling that I have not felt in a long time and I mean long time. You have given me hope in knowing that I can find peace. Words cannot explain how much I appreciate your comments. 😇

I lost my cat friend Sonnyboy 10 years ago and I still miss him every day. I believe we will see our animal friends someday in heaven. They are waiting for us in a very happy place.

I believe it too. @greenmountaingal
Hugs to you, my Woofie is old and she isn't well. I don't know how I will handle that day[image deleted]

She is a beautiful dog. I’m not the best at advice but don’t do what I did and let it take over your life for 10 years. Let her love stay with you knowing that she loves you and wants you to let her go when she passes. It will only eat you from the inside out. I only wish I had come to that answer 10 years ago. But the pain will only get worse as time goes if you let that be your only thought. I want you to live a happy life. But while you still have some time left with Woofie let her know that you will always love her and tell her how much she means to you and how greatly she changed your life in many positive ways. I believe she will understand you because if you are about the same with her that I was with Bruno she will understand. I pray that you can accept her death when it happens which I hope it does not happen to you anytime soon.@Itsmrsockmonkey
I’m so sorry. I’m like tearing up right now.
