I wish I knew how much I would miss something as simple as walking beside him.
For years, it was just part of our everyday life.
The same paths. The same familiar places. The same excitement every time I reached for his leash.
Some days we’d walk for miles. Other days we’d barely go anywhere because he wanted to stop and investigate every little thing along the way.
And I never really thought much about it.
There was always another walk tomorrow.
Another morning. Another evening. Another chance to spend a little time together.
Until there wasn’t.
I look back at these videos now and realize how much of our life together was spent simply walking side by side.
No destination. No special occasion. Just the two of us enjoying each other’s company.
And I think that’s what I miss most about those days.
The comfort of knowing he’d be there tomorrow.
That something so ordinary could be such a constant source of happiness without me ever really stopping to appreciate just how lucky I was.
I knew someday we’d have to say goodbye.
I just never thought about how much I’d miss all the little things that came before it.
Three years later, I can still picture the way he walked beside me. The way he’d look back to make sure I was there. The excitement in his face when he realized we were going somewhere together.
And sometimes I wish I could step into one of those old videos, even for a moment.
Just to walk beside him again.
I never counted how many walks we took together.
I only wish there had been more. ❤️
