EMME… My Social Sweetheart
She greeted each new day with quiet anticipation,
always waiting by the door, as if our return was life’s happiest celebration.

I miss the presence of her following closely behind me.
Not because she had to, but because love needs no invitation.

Friendly by nature, gentle in spirit, welcoming all—
family, strangers, cats and dogs alike—
with your unconditional companionship.

The outdoors called to her,
every breeze carried another scent
an adventure, another discovery, a mystery to unravel.

Though your years were far too few, a life is not measured by a calendar.
It is found in our memories of you
and the empty doorway when we return home.

Love leaves reminders—echoes in every room you explored, every path you wandered and in every heart, fortunate enough to be followed by you.

Emme, my baby girl and social sweetheart, now explore
that larger garden where curiosity never ends.
You were loved and will be missed.
