To my dearest Shya, my first furbaby,

You came into my life during my darkest days, and your presence was a constant, comforting light. Through every struggle and every mood swing, you were a steadfast and loyal companion. You were my anchor, my confidante, and a source of love so profound that words can never truly capture it. You taught me the meaning of unconditional love, and for that, I will be forever grateful.

To my sweet Hope,

I brought you home to be a companion for Shya in her golden years, but you became so much more. After she passed, you became my living extension, a tiny shadow sticking by my side through my grief. You are my reason for waking up every morning, a reminder of joy and a testament to the enduring power of love. You have carried me through, and you continue to fill my life with purpose.

A Dedication

to Shya & Hope

Shya and Hope, you have both taught me so much about love, loss, and resilience. My life is infinitely better because you were, and are, in it.
