Thank you all. It is still very raw. I am trying to take each day as it comes.
Last night he came to say goodbye, I am sure of it. My alarm in the house went off. It was displaying zone 5. We don't have a zone 5. We looked all through the house and there was no breach.
Ben always did border patrol and huffed a little bark before we went to bed at night. I swear that was him. Just checking in.
