It's been a year
since I last held you
Since I last saw your smile
Since I last felt your joy
I still think of you
How you were always happy
How you thought you were bigger than everyone else
How you always took care of me
I can see your ghost
When I come home to quiet
When I wake up to no one there
When I lie down and no one runs over to me
One year later
I still cry for you
I still love you
I still miss you

I could always talk
as much as I wanted
so long as I pet you
while I did
You were always excited
the second I got home
and watched out the door
while you waited for me
In a lifetime of feeling cast out
I always had a place in your heart
Good or bad days, it didn't matter
You loved me just the same
I never had to be more
than just your human
And I never wanted you to be more
than just my dog
Listen to this poem
Me and Jai

This is my home
These are my people
I will do what I can
To keep them safe
I will care for them
When they're sick
Sit with them
Until they feel better
I will stand guard
When needed
Protect them
From the rest of the world
Everyone will know
That this is my home
These are my people
And I will protect them
Forever
Jai guarding my room

Whatcha doing?
Can I help?
Well, can I sit with you then?
I want to be close to you
Who's your friend?
Can I snuggle with you two?
They must be a good person
So I want to be their friend too
Are you sick?
I'll stay close by
So I can be there for you
Because I want to help
I need to be involved
I always need to be close
So that you always know
How much I love you
Hey Grandma, whatcha doing?

When I got sick
You could tell
And sat with me
Until I felt better
When someone was hurt
You could tell
And kept an eye on them
In case they needed help
When I felt sad
You could tell
And gave me kisses
Until I smiled
When I needed you
You could tell
And you were there for me
Until the very end

When I was asked to care for you
I didn't think I'd be able to
I had a lot going on
But I still couldn't say no
You were excited or sleeping
There was no in between
Even when your energy was too much
I still couldn't say no
For the innumerable times when you were there
Exactly when I needed a friend
Cuddling me when I was sad or sick
I'm so glad I said yes
Even though you're gone
And there's a hole in my life
I look back on our time with love and joy
Forever grateful that I said yes

As some of you are aware, my dog Jai (rhymes with Sky) passed away on Halloween. Saying he was an important part of my life doesn't begin to describe him, so I wanted to post about him here.

Three kisses to tell you to wake up
Ten kisses to say it's time to go
Twenty kisses because I want attention
and one kiss because I love you
