As we made our way around the last few days saying goodbye to all of our family members and some of our friends, some goodbyes were harder than others, but there was one goodbye that I was dreading the most.
To be able to travel like my husband and I do there are always sacrifices that need to be made. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do was say goodbye to this beautiful face this morning.
When we first started discussing our travel plans, I could barely even think about leaving my Meeka for that long. As time passed, I realized that as much as I love Meeka, I still want to be able to follow my dreams and passions and with following your dreams will always come compromises and sacrifices.
Although saying goodbye to our human friends and family was also hard, with saying goodbye to a dog there is no common ground of communication for you to really say what you need to. More than anything, I just wish that I had the power to communicate to her in barks and nudges that translated into “mom and dad love you so so much and we will back, I promise”.
Thankfully we have a great friend that will be caring for her and we know that she will be in excellent hands. But that still doesn’t help the fact that my heart shattered this morning saying goodbye to her.
Over the last week every time I held her and every time I cuddled with her, I would just burst out in tears. Now as we get our final preparations ready to travel, our house seems so empty without my warm, loving, ball of fur. Today was full of tears, but I know that she is in good hands and will have a great time with her other puppy friends.
Out of all the sacrifices and hoops we have had to jump through to be able to make this travel dream come true, this is by far the hardest.
So long and good luck!! Have fun you two. I’m looking forward to watching your adventure!
