He had a deep love for sleeping in sunshine spots. You could tell time in our house by his on the nose reminders of meal and treat times. He preferred under-the-chin scratches the best. He adored being Anna’s favorite. For over fifteen years our Oliver a/k/a Ollie a/k/a Ollie Jones has been a steadfast and loving member of our family.

By the time any of you read this, I will have said the final goodbye to my beloved Oliver. Oliver’s life lasted longer than my marriage and he was in both my pre and post-divorce households. On days that my daughters were at their dad’s, Oliver and his brothers filled in as my de facto kids to fuss over and talk at about my day. He has been a source of constancy and companionship through my life’s greatest hardships and many joys.

Anyone who has had a furry family member knows well the worn path of unconditional love between owner and pet. You know how pets rarely complain, never talk back, and nuzzle their noses to your cheek to dry tears or give kisses. Without fail, they show unbridled enthusiasm every single time you walk in the door. Their favorite sleeping spots, if allowed, are always right next to you.

I haven’t felt a loss like this since my divorce twelve years ago.

Majestic castles, breakfasts overlooking the sea, gorgeous green against ancient stone. Scotland was grand. Arriving home without my luggage was not.
I typically prefer to pack lightly. I once went a week in Costa Rica with a single small backpack. But for this trip, I was ready for all occasions. The predicable rain, the fancy dinner with fancy lawyers, and the right outfit for when the perfect Scottish selfie moment arrived.

When my travel companion’s bag arrived a day late, surely mine was not far behind. I’d had delayed bags before. Despite my daily grumbling, I had had a good amount of hope.

People asked about my travels. I reported on the wonderful whiskey, the royalty, and my fiancé golfing on the world-famous Old Course. I always added my suitcase story.

“Did you lose anything that broke your heart?” a friend asked. I thought about my best vintage sweater gifted to me from a dear friend. Antique white, bejeweled with tiny pearls and miniature rhinestones, it was a perfect fit for me in every way.

“Somethings that hurt my heart, but nothing that broke it,” I replied.
