I wrote this for Greta, but I think it belongs to anyone who has ever had to love an animal enough to let them go.
She was never “just a dog.” She was my best friend, my quiet place, the keeper of more secrets than most people will ever know. For seven years, she carried parts of my heart when I didn’t have the strength to carry them myself.
She never asked for much. Just that I be there.
Today, that became the hardest promise I’ve ever had to keep.
This song is for Greta, and for every friend we have loved more deeply than words know how to explain.
If this touches you, consider giving something back to a local non-profit animal shelter. Money, blankets, food, or even a little of your time can mean more than you realize.
Who knows… you may even find the friend who changes your life.
Greta, you take a piece of my soul with you.
And I give it willingly.
