Toby, for 18 years, you were my compass, my constant companion, and one of the purest forms of love I’ve ever known. You were there through every season of life, resting beside me as I fed my babies, keeping watch over the kids when they were sick, and comforting me during moments of sadness, anxiety, and uncertainty.
You never needed words to know exactly what was needed. A gentle presence. Always curled up close. An unwavering reminder that I was never alone.
I have to believe that the connection we shared transcends this life, and while my heart aches in your absence, I find comfort in believing that a love like ours doesn’t simply end. I hope your love continues to reach me, just as mine will always reach for you.
And I hope that somewhere beyond what we can see, you and Lily have found each other again, running free, relaxing in the sun, and keeping each other company until we meet again.
Thank you for every memory and every lesson in unconditional love. “I loved you for your whole life, and I will miss you for the rest of mine.” 💔
