Six months ago, I thought I was losing my best friend.

We both fought so hard — mentally, physically, and emotionally. And somewhere along the way, life taught us one of the most important lessons to date: don’t take a single day for granted, and keep on pushing.

What I used to think was a “bad day” really isn’t a bad day at all. In fact, I rarely have bad days anymore.

Any day I get to wake up next to my best friend, move my body, laugh, and talk to my family is the best day a girl could ask for.

Lady taught me a lesson that nobody else ever could. She taught me to appreciate the little things, to stop taking the ordinary for granted, and to be grateful for right now.

And now? Now we are THRIVING. ❤️

I know there will be hard days ahead. But that’s a later problem, because right now, she’s here. She’s happy. She’s fighting. And she’s living.

Six months ago, I was terrified of a life without her. Today, I’m just grateful I get to keep living this life with her — one day, one ride, one walk, one adventure, and one crazy Lady moment at a time.

She saved me in ways she’ll never understand. And if I get to spend the rest of my life making sure she knows just how loved she is, then I’ll consider myself the luckiest girl in the world.

Here’s to my girl. Here’s to right now. And here’s to many, many more days. ❤️🐾
