You're not overreacting
Losing them is real grief - because they were real family
Some people will say "it was just a dog" or "just a cat." They didn't know your mornings. The click of their nails across the floor. The way they were always waiting at the door. The spot on the bed that feels too empty tonight.
You didn't lose a pet. You lost a best friend who loved you through everything, asked for almost nothing, and never once left your side.
A photo freezes a single moment. But a song captures the feeling - their goofy quirks, their loyalty, the joy they brought to the most ordinary days - so you can press play and feel close to them again whenever you need to.
