Luke, I named you after Luke Skywalker because you had the makings of a Jedi. From the first moment I met you I knew you were special. I’ll admit at first I was upset he who shall not be named brought you over without my consent. I wasn’t ready for a dog.
But ready or not, you came into my life and changed it for the better. After all the mess with that person ended and it was me you and Ariel you helped me to get my life back on track. You and Ariel were the light in the darkness. You brought consistency. You taught me to be patient. You taught me to trust myself. You taught me to believe in myself.
Because you needed me to be a leader, I worked on becoming one. I learned to take care of myself and you and Ariel. You taught me to manage my anxiety and emotions. To be kind to people, but also to be observant.
Your smile lit up every room, field and face you came across. No matter what, you were always a good boy. Even when you were stubborn and you didn’t want to leave the park. You were the light through my darkest days.
I love you so deeply and you will always have a paw print on my heart. I loved and cherished every moment of our time together. Our playtime, our cuddle time, how you would wake me up when it was time to get up. I even miss your stinky farts, stinky boy.
I know you are in dog heaven running across fields, chasing birds, and getting into bags and rivers you’re not supposed to get into. I love you so much, I hope I was a good human to you, and you felt all the love I have for you.
Your sister also misses you and has been doing a good job of helping me cope with my grief. Your time was too short baby boy. If you come back to earth please find me. I’d love to give you one more hug.
You were the Stitch to my Lilo and if I am lucky and as good as you thought I was, when it’s my time I’ll join you and we will play frisbee all day every day.
I named you Luke, but now I realize I should have named you Obi-wan because you were the Jedi master that taught me the skills to be a better person.
I love you my Luke, may the force be with you.
My deepest condolences on your recent loss. Luke has returned to the Force 🙏🏼🫶🏼
Thank you so much! I miss him every day, but I know he is one with the Force.
