Big brown eyes. Watching. Worry.
Something is wrong. Very wrong with my Dad.
I will not leave his side.
Wherever he goes, I will be there. I will comfort him.
As he sleeps and struggles, I will lay next to him.
I will keep watch.
When he cries, I will lick away the tears.
My love is absolute. Unquestioning. Unwavering.
My head will push beneath his hand.
My paw touches his arm. I am here for him.
I will be his anchor. Holding him to this world.
My greeting will be overwhelming.
I will convince him to play. Even for a while.
To try and forget. For a moment.
No matter how short.
I will give him my love in every way.
I will help heal him. Move him to the future.
I will help do every day things. Always at his side.
My love is absolute. Unquestioning. Unwavering.
