IT 
Just over six months ago, without knowing it, we were spending our last day together. I could never have imagined that it would happen on that very day, and yet I still remember that sudden ray of light in the afternoon that caught my attention in such an inexplicable and almost magical way that I felt the need to photograph it.
I also remember an afternoon a few weeks earlier, when I held you tightly in my arms outside our little balcony, just as we had done for eighteen long years. While we waited for the sun to set, you were unusually calm, no longer having the strength to bark at passersby the way you always used to. And in that moment, with painful and absolute certainty, I realized that it would most likely be our last sunset together there on our balcony before the cold season arrived. That’s why I held you even tighter, and for even longer.
For more than six months now, the colors of my life have changed. Everything has become more like a gradient of faded shades, because I miss everything about you, my days with you, my life with you.
You were my first baby, the first great love of my life, and no one will ever take that special place in my heart away from you.
People do not talk enough about the grief of losing a four legged friend, when in reality they are life companions exactly like any other human being, sometimes even more.
Today it has been more than six months… more than six months in which, every single day, I miss you a little more. ♥
