When a dog dies, we not only lose a loved one, but we are immersed in a sea of ??memories that invade every space in our house. From his favorite toy to that special corner that he never left, every detail reminds us how difficult it is to adapt to his absence.
In the midst of this reality, Shari, a woman who recently suffered the loss of her canine companion, a golden retriever, has found a unique way to honor his memory and preserve those fond memories. By restoring the staircase leading to the second floor, Shari has decided to pay tribute to her beloved dog in a special way: by leaving a permanent marker in her home.
He recently shared his particular way of paying tribute to his four-legged friend on Instagram. Shari decided to paint the stairs of her house, an iconic spot where her dog used to rest. However, there was one detail that she decided to leave unpainted: the wear mark on one of the steps, proof of the passage and constant presence of her pet.
According to Shari, the animal could fall asleep on that step without any problem. So due to continued use, the old paint faded until it left a kind of mark in the shape of the animal’s body.
For this reason, she decided to paint the stairs black, but leaving that particular step intact, reflecting the close bond Shari had with her dog. In her Instagram post, she expressed her emotions with emotional words: “I painted my stairs. Black made more sense. Just like leaving your step untouched. A year without you. It seems like one of the longest years of my life. I hope have a step, let it be all yours and love it as much as you loved this one.
In addition, he continued to reflect on his grieving and recovery process, which has improved over time, despite the fact that it is always difficult to say goodbye to someone who has been with you for so many years: “I’m fine, very fine, really. But God , how I miss you”.
