To My Dearest Friends and Family, Today, I find myself grappling with the kind of words no one ever wants to write. It’s about my beloved dog, Hope, who has been diagnosed with cancer. Just saying those words out loud feels like a crack in my heart that only seems to grow wider. Hope is more than just a dog to me. She is my confidant, my comforter, and my daily reminder of unconditional love. From the moment she bounded into my life with her wagging tail and soulful eyes, she became a part of me—a part I never thought I’d have to imagine letting go of. Hope has taught me so much in her time here. She has shown me what it means to live in the moment, to find joy in the simplest things—a walk in the park, a sunny spot by the window, or the sheer excitement of seeing someone you love. She has been my constant companion through the highs and lows of life, offering her quiet understanding in moments when words weren’t enough. The diagnosis is cruel, and it feels so unfair to someone who has brought nothing but goodness into this world. Despite her pain, she continues to greet each day with bravery, tail wags, and the same love she has always given freely. Watching her fight this battle is both heartbreaking and inspiring. I wanted to share this with you because Hope’s love doesn’t stop with me—it’s extended to everyone she’s met. She’s brought smiles to faces, comfort to hearts, and warmth to the coldest days. I know many of you have felt her light, too. As we navigate this difficult chapter, I’m holding onto the joy of each moment we have left. Every cuddle, every silly bark, every wag of her tail is a gift I will treasure forever. If you could, please keep Hope in your thoughts. She deserves all the love in the world, just as she has given it. And if you’ve ever shared a moment with her, know that you’ve been part of her beautiful journey—a journey that I will carry in my heart long after she is gone. Thank you for letting me share this. Writing this letter was as much for me as it was for her—a way to honor her, to celebrate her, and to remind myself that love, no matter how brief, is always worth it. With a heavy but grateful heart, John
