The Loss of a Best Friend

Dear Delyara, "The house is too quiet without the clicking of claws on the hardwood floor. I found one of her old tennis balls under the sofa today, and it felt like finding a piece of a life that I’m not ready to let go of. For thirteen years, she was the witness to every heartbreak, every victory, and every late-night brainstorm I ever had. Now, I catch myself checking the corner of the room where her bed used to be, only to remember that she’s gone. It’s a physical ache, a hollow space in the chest that only a pet owner can truly understand. She wasn't 'just a dog'; she was the heartbeat of this home."
