Our beautiful Salvador Dali,
Our tiny lion,
Our Dudepig,
Our teeny we**ie beanie,
Our stinky bean,
Our Salvadorio,
It has taken me a week to find the strength to articulate in words how your passing has broken our hearts. Nothing feels right. Our home is incomplete. I always knew losing you would be the greatest pain of my life, because my love for you was is grander than life itself.
What an honor it has been to be your Mommy. I told you every single morning when I awoke, and every single night before bed how strong you are. How beautiful you are. How kind your heart is. How brave you are. How gentle your soul is. How honored we feel to be your Mommy and Daddy. How lucky Pablo Picasso feels to be your brother. How proud we are of you. How wonderful you are. How you have better hair than anyone. You were everything and more.
I always was in awe that we had a real life teeny tiny lion stuffed animals that lived and breathed and muppetted around our house like he was the King. Every pitter patter and munching sound you made filled our home with happiness. We miss you. We miss your cute mouth lifting up in the air waiting for attention…for veggies…We miss you licking the window waiting for your vitamin C cookies at 7:58 pm sharp.
My heartbeat misses your heart and head curled up against it nuzzling my chest while staring into my eyes. My heart is lost without you.
Thank you for enriching our lives and for being the absolute most wonderful part of our little family. The deeper the pain, the stronger the love. Daddy and I are doing our best to keep Pablo smiling…but we are not you. You were his most treasured friend. His happy place.
Just like you will always be our happy place.
Sleep well our angel. Pain free with endless bountiful veggies and snacks and popcorns.
