My heart pounded within my chest, a mix of excitement and fear. My dream at the edge of my grasp, I’m finally here. The moment I laid my eyes upon him, the sun created an angelic glow around his golden coat. I immediately became calm the second my fingers met his neck, he looked at me, eyes soft and full of light, then he nosed my back closer, and I gave him a cuddle. Our unspoken truth danced together like a monarch with her milkweed. “I'm so happy to finally meet you” I whispered. “Thank you for being my light” I smile softly, breathing in his blissful scent.
