She was the most loyal friend I ever had and was my main source of happiness for the last 13 years. I'm devastated beyond words by her loss, I look for her around every corner in my house and find myself feeling the most lonely I have ever felt. We were always together, until the very end.

She left this world in peace. I could see the relief in her eyes before passing, because she had been really struggling for the last month. She couldn't breathe properly and was in and out from the vet getting oxygen and her lungs drained. I could tell she was exhausted and I think she was thankful to me for letting her finally rest.

I miss her goofy way of walking, watching her sunbathing with her ears as an eyemask, the cute sound of her snoring, her droopy eyes that were always asking for love - and food - her stubbornness until she got what she wanted, the endless love she gave me. She brought me joy just by looking at her. 

I'm beyond grateful to life for allowing me to experience the bond we still have. The amount of pain I feel could never outshine the memories and moments we lived for the past 13 years.

May you rest in peace my most wonderful friend, I will remember you everyday, until my very last day. I love you, and always will. 

After fighting cancer for 8 months, my beloved Charlotte passed at 13 years old.
