Dexter, in a world full of good boys, you were the best boy. The past couple weeks have felt empty without you around and I’ll never understand why you had to go, but the impact you had on my life will be felt forever. For 8 years you were by my side, brightening up my bad days and making the good days that much better.
It’s a special feeling to know that you made millions of people smile and I only hope you knew how special you truly were. Knowing people around the world have loved seeing you the past 5+ years and found joy in your goofy behavior will keep your spirit alive. I’m so thankful for the adventures we got to experience together because of your talent.
Samwise is lost without you. You came with us to pick your brother up and every day he looks for you in each room, hoping to run and jump on you or lick your ears. He’s grown up a lot since you left us, but as you used to do, he’s pushing his head into my stomach to let me know it’s going to be okay.
The day before you passed, you wanted to lay out in the backyard of the house you called home for most of your life. It reminded me of you as a puppy, refusing to keep walking because you wanted to lay in all of our neighbors front lawns. Maybe you knew deep down that you were ready to go, but I wasn’t ready. Your passing was unexpected and we weren’t able to get answers to why it was your time. I take some comfort in knowing you passed in your sleep in our home. I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to accept that you’re gone.
Mr. Dexters, you changed everything, and I’ll miss you every day. Love you buddy.
