Dear Milo,
I know this may seem silly to be writing you being that you are dead but I just wanted to talk. There are so many things that you have missed out on over the years. Plus, I have so many questions about haven and what it’s like. I mean I know what my dream haven would be like. I’ll be dressed in white living in a house with a little girl who is mine. I dream about it all most every night.
I was only four when you passed away. You had been the best friend that any little girl could ask for. When I would cry you would come up to me and lick my face. Then with those cute little puppy dog eyes you would look at me as if saying, “Everything will be OK Summer.”
You were so fluffy! I can remember cuddling with you every night before going to bed. Mom and dad had to pretty much drag me away from you. Of course, after then went to bed you would jump into my bed with me.
The day you passed away was a sad day for me. I felt like God was taking away my best friend. But funny enough a few weeks later I met Zoë at pre-school. Maybe that was God’s plan. For you to die so that I could be open to a new friendship. It’s funny how God works. He always has a plan for everything but no one knows what it is till it happens. Like right now, I know God has a plan for me but I am not sure what the plan is. I just know that I have to live out this plan one day at a time
I’m looking forward to seeing you again. I’m miss those wet licks and those puppy eyes. The way your golden fur moved when you walked. I also miss finding my toys buried in the backyard. Maybe you can bury some of my haven things in the clouds. Wouldn’t that be funny?
Before I leave I wonder if maybe you can send me a dream about your haven? What is haven like for you? Do they have doggie parks and all the bones you could wish for? Do you get played with every day and loved? Are you happy? Can you talk like humans or can you only bark? Are clouds comfy to sleep on?
I love you Milo and miss you all the time. The new dog will never be as good as you. All he likes to do is sleep and chase cats. You would play with me all the time. You even let me ride on your back once but when I fell mom never let me do that again.
Save me a good spot Milo. I’ll be joining you soon. I love you buddy!
Love, Summer
