Dear Caitlin,
Today, Toby and I spent the day exploring the hiking trails we used to love. I remember how you would always drag me out of bed early, excited to hit the trails and breathe in the fresh air. I never quite shared your enthusiasm for early mornings, but I loved those hikes because they were with you.
As we walked, memories of our adventures together flooded my mind. Toby seemed to sense the significance of the place. He trotted along happily, occasionally looking back at me with those big, understanding eyes. It felt like he was guiding me through the pain, helping me find solace in the memories.
We reached the summit and sat down to take in the view. The beauty of the landscape reminded me of how you would always find joy in the simplest things. I talked to Toby about our hikes, about how you would point out every interesting plant and animal along the way. It felt good to share those memories, to keep a part of you alive.
Toby has become such an important part of my life. His presence has brought a sense of normalcy back into my days. When I wake up in the morning, he's there, ready to start the day with his boundless energy. He makes me laugh with his playful antics, and his unconditional love is a constant source of comfort.
The nights are still the hardest, Caitlin. I miss you so much, and the emptiness is overwhelming at times. But having Toby here makes it a bit more bearable. He sleeps beside me, offering his silent companionship. I talk to him about you, about the love we shared, and it feels like he understands. His presence doesn't erase the pain, but it helps me cope, one day at a time.
I love you more than words can express, Caitlin. I miss you every moment of every day. I hope you can see how Toby is helping me, how he's become a beacon of light in my darkest moments. I'll keep writing to you, sharing my days, my thoughts, my love. Forever in my heart, Caitlin.
Yours always,
Davin
