My little darling, sweet pea – Reno.
You taught me so much during our short time together, including patience, slowing down, and seeing all the beauty in going slow—the little things that normally get missed at a faster pace.
You came into my life when I needed this lesson. You needed me, too, and that meant so much to me, so much more than I could have ever known when we first met. Being your guardian was an honor and brought me so much joy.
You were silly, sweet, and spicy! And oh – so brave. You had a true heart of gold – unafraid of stepping forward even when it was hard. Your confidence and unrelenting forgiveness of human weakness meant you were able to open your heart when you joined our family.
Dear Torino, thank you for your sweetness, you captured my heart so completely and in the days after you left us life feels dull and lacking. But I have hope, I know you are at peace now, and your strength and resilience give me comfort now as we face a future without your bright soul in our home. Time will go on but you will always remain in my heart, and I will be forever grateful for the time we had together. Rest in peace my little darling.
Love always – mama.
