Dear Alice. You have managed to put into words everything I am feeling. I hope that a year on your grief has softened and the hole in your heart is now filled with happy memories xxx

Dear Fran, I know you are going through it right now and if my words brought you some comfort, then I am glad. A year on and the hole is certainly softer and gentler around the edges and, yes, bursting with all the joy that sharing life for almost 18 years with beautiful Milla, brought. Sending you both healing hugs as you navigate this journey yourselves.🧡

Alice, this is a beautiful example of how we should all love. With total commitment and without any questions asked. You all honoured her with a beautiful death and your dedicated to her care brought me to tears. Your writing expressed so much, and I'm glad I got to learn a little more about her life. Love and Hugs xxx

Aw, thank you so much, Heidi. She was so incredibly special to us — life without her feels so empty. But sharing her (our) story, definitely helps. Thank you for reading along and, again, thank you for the poem. I can't tell you how much your finely-crafted, heartfelt words, mean to us. Much love and many hugs right back to you xxx
