Dear Miguel, my human forever
Hello, Miguel. It’s me, Manuela. I don’t know if you remember the way I looked at you, that look that said everything without words, but today I want you to read what I always tried to tell you with my eyes and my tail that never stopped wagging: thank you for everything you gave me, for everything we lived and for being the best human I could have had.
My life began with you and with you it was always full of purpose. I was not only your dog; I was your companion, your shadow and, sometimes, your accomplice. We lived together in Mastorrencito, that magical corner where the smell of the pine trees and the warmth of the visitors made me feel like the luckiest dog in the world.
A home full of life
Mastorrencito was not only my home; it was a place where every day we met new friends. Do you remember how many dogs passed through there? Big dogs, small dogs, nervous dogs, playful dogs? I was in charge of welcoming them. I showed them the best corners of the farmhouse, how to enjoy the sun on the terrace or where to hide when they wanted a moment of peace. But I also took care of their humans, those who came looking for rest and happiness. I would offer them a calm look or I would approach them so they could feel, even for a moment, the love that only we dogs know how to give.
The years we shared
Seventeen years, Miguel, how quickly they go by when life is full of adventures! I remember the mornings when we would go for a walk and the fresh air smelled of promises of a day full of stories. I also remember the quiet afternoons, when you would just lie down with me and I felt that, at that moment, there was nothing more important in the world.
Each person who came to Mastorrencito left their mark, but I knew that you were my constant, my true home. I learned to understand your silences, to read your heart even when your words wouldn’t come out. And though my body grew slower over the years, my love for you only grew stronger.
What you taught me
You gave me more than a home; you gave me a mission. You taught me to be part of something bigger, to connect with other humans and dogs, to share my joy and comfort those in need. You taught me what it means to belong, and even though I couldn’t speak, I found a thousand ways to tell you, «I’m here for you, always.»
My legacy in Mastorrencito
Now that I am no longer physically with you, I know that my spirit is still there, among the trees and the paths of the farmhouse, in the bark of every dog that arrives for the first time or in the laughter of a visitor who finds in Mastorrencito something special. I am sure that when you look at the sky or feel the wind on your face, I will be there, reminding you how much you meant to me.
Thank you, Miguel
Thank you for every caress, for every shared moment, for understanding me without words and, above all, for loving me until the last day. I know that sometimes you thought that you were the one who took care of me, but let me tell you something: it was me who had the privilege of taking care of you. I chose you every day of my life, and I would do it again a thousand times more.
Don’t be sad for my absence, because I never left completely. I am in your memories, in your heart and in every corner of Mastorrencito. And when someday our paths cross again, I will run to you with the same joy as always, with my tail wagging and my heart full of love, as if time had never passed.
With all my eternal love,
Manuela 🐾
From MasTorrencito we wish you a good day and may your dogs be with you!!!!
