Mi alma gemela. Nunca tuviste que decir ni una sola palabra para llegar a entenderme como nadie más en el mundo. No tienes idea cuánto te extraño. Por favor, sea donde sea que estés, espérame ahí mi niña, que ya no tardo... Te amo con todo mi corazón. Besitos.

Diario
✎ ¿Cuál fue el primer momento en que lo viste?
Yo estaba teniendo un pésimo día. De repente mi mamá me dijo "traje a alguien conmigo". Volteé a la parte de atrás del coche y ahí estaba ella. Sentadita, sin moverse, mirándome. Fue amor a primera vista. Sabía que había llegado mi mejor amiga a mi vida. Y así fue, durante los 10 años que me acompañó, y durante todos los años que me queden, mi amiga más fiel, incondicional y querida.
Extraño tanto tu mirada. Era una mirada llena de amor, de cariño, de "estoy aquí y te escucho, y no estás sola". Me duele ya no poder ver tus ojitos grandes e inocentes. ¿Tú estás feliz ahí donde estás? Ojalá pudieras decirme. Quiero irme contigo. Quisiera verte solo una vez más.
✎ ¿Qué hacía en los días de lluvia?
Eran sus días favoritos. Yo lo sabía, y por eso le ponía la correa y nos íbamos al parque. Debido a la lluvia, el pasto estaba muy alto y ella era muy chaparra, así que saltaba como Bambi, y corría, y se volvía loca con la lluvia, y yo me reía mucho porque me causaba una enorme felicidad verla disfrutar tanto de la vida. Yo espero con toda el alma que ahora mismo esté corriendo en un campo, entre el pasto con la lluvia cayendo sin cesar.
✎ ¿Había una canción o sonido al que reaccionaba?
Si, a su nombre, a los silbidos, a la palabra "vamos", a las canciones que mi mamá le hacía jaja, a la palabra "niña", cuando le hacía sonidos como cuando le hablas a un bebé, porque ella sabía que era mi bebé, me acuerdo cómo alzaba sus orejitas y movía la colita muy contenta porque sabía que era la consentida. Todo es muy diferente ahora que no está.
✎ ¿A qué olía?
Era bien apestosa jaja pero yo la besuqueaba siempre y la abrazaba. Jamás me importo que oliera a calcetín o a tierra porque le encantaba revolcarse cuando íbamos al parque. La teníamos que bañar seguido. Aún así siempre olía raro, pero ahora extraño muchísimo ese olor a Cheetos rancios.
Esta página me salió justo el día que se cumplió un año de que no estás. Voy a tomarlo como una señal, como una forma en la que quisiste mandar un saludo desde allá arriba. Eso me hace sentir paz, pero a la vez, siento que me arrancan el corazón porque recuerdo que nunca voy a poder darte otro besito. Nunca. Te extraño muchísimo
✎ ¿Qué imaginas que está haciendo ahora mismo?
Durmiendo. Era lo que más le gustaba en el mundo, además de correr en la lluvia, y de los abrazos. Su cama era su lugar favorito en el mundo. A mí me gustaba contemplarla, verla respirar, escucharla soñar. Daría lo que fuera por poder verla una última vez.
Me acuerdo cuando llegaste a mi vida. Yo estaba muy solita y muy confundida, tenía 17 años. Tú eras mi primer perrita, dormiste conmigo, y desde ese momento supe que ya no estaría sola. Pero ahora, que hago sin ti? Dónde te busco? Cómo te abrazo otra vez? Cómo dejo de sentirme tan sola sin ti? Visítame aunque sea en mis sueños, por favor
