This Afternoon

I looked for Jude today as I pulled into the driveway. Of course I realized quickly that I wouldn’t see him. I also find myself getting teary-eyed as I drive to and from work each day. This morning I realized it’s because I drive right by the vet on my route. Each night I look at his spot beside my bed and feel a lump form in my throat, and I find myself trying not to step on him when I get out of bed. I think it’s going to take a long time to not thinking about him every day. It truly is like losing a piece of me.
