Moving Into the Heart

On a foggy morning
I heard a knock at my door

Thank you for everything until now
I love you

What's wrong?
All of a sudden

I came to say goodbye

Why?

Huh... because
You know, right?

It's just that
Where I live is changing a little

Where... you live?

Until now
You lived in a house, right?

Yes

From now on
I'm going to live inside everyone's hearts

Inside your heart?

Look
You just knocked on my door, didn't you?
This is my heart

Is it okay for me to live here?

Of course it is
You can stay forever

But
Then I won't be able to
Meet other people

No
Now that you're free
You can live in everyone's hearts

In everyone's hearts?

Yes
While I'm holding you
You can go to Dad's work
You can go out with your big brother
And even go shopping with your big sister
You can go to all, all of those places

Wow!
Even though you were always staying home to watch the house

Of course,
I can watch the house with Grandma, too

Can we do everything together?

That's right.
Isn't that amazing?

But since your body will be gone,
everyone won't be able to pet you anymore

……Hey,
how is it inside my heart?

It's warm and feels good.

That's because
it's proof that I'm petting you.
When you get petted,
it feels warm and good, right?

You're right.
It's the same feeling!

From now on, everyone
will be together forever.

Nothing is going to change, is it!

That's right.
Not a single thing will change.
We'll be together forever and ever.

With a peaceful expression, they took one deep breath,
and then quietly stopped moving.

It's the signal that the move
into my heart,
into everyone's hearts, is complete.

Since you were always at home until now,
I'll probably look for your traces for a while,

but next time, let's all go together
to a big park.

A really big park
where we can run around freely as much as we want.

I have participated here.
Today, on a foggy morning, our dog moved into our hearts.
They had been battling illness for a long time, and I was prepared for it, but
now that it has happened, I cannot sort out my feelings.

Thank you for everything until now. We will be together forever.

I wrote this with those feelings in mind.
Thank you for your consideration.

If you would like, please take a look at this as well.
