The Wonder of You

Today I received some terrible news. My beloved dog Viggo had passed away last night. I cannot believe it. He was the most joyful boy. I have no words to describe how much I love him and now I will never get to see him again. It's hard when you're at home when this happens, but it's even harder to be so far away. I haven't had the chance to tell him how much I love him. I'm finding it really hard to believe this really happened and that it's not some kind of bad dream I'm not waking up from. I haven't had the chance to say a proper goodbye. I find some consolation in the fact that I saw just a glimpse of his face on skype last week, but it doesn't make the pain any less. I'm having a hard time now, here in Kos, but I guess I'm only going to realize he's not there anymore when I get home.

My dear boy, wherever you are, I hope you know how much I love you even while I wasn't there to comfort you when you sighed your last breath. I hope that my other two loved ones, Pasha and Dzilla, will help you find your way across the rainbow bridge and that they will guide you through heaven. Because I'm sure that's where you are looking down on me and helping me find a way to place this. Believe me when I say I have never had a better friend than you were. I missed you so damn much out here in Kos and I was so looking forward to seeing you at the airport when I got home in one of the next weeks. Now I'm only missing you even more and now I know I will never have the chance to hold you in my arms again.

I hope they serve pasta in dog heaven, because I know you love that so much. Eat lots and lots of it and do it out of a golden scale, because that's only what you deserve. You are still my golden boy and you will be forever. I love you.
When I was sick you were there to give me some consolation, you wouldn't go one step away from me to make sure I was alright. When one of the girls or the cat was sick, you would do anything to be close to them to help them through. That is the wonder of you.
I love you, Viggo, forever and ever. You have my blessing to go over the rainbow bridge and rest in peace. I love you, I will never ever forget you. The wonder of you will always be in my heart. 

I love you, my best friend. Big kiss! 

I think this song describes exactly how I feel about my boy. 

"When no one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
and you're always there to lend a hand
in everything I do
That's the wonder, the wonder of you

And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I am a king
Your love to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
I guess, I'll never know the reason why
You love as you do
'cause, that's the wonder, the wonder of you

I guess, I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
'Cause that's the wonder, the wonder of you" - Elvis Presley, The wonder of you.
