That was the moment the anger finally gave way, and all at once my mind went back to the one other loss that had once left my daughter just as heartbroken.
Benji had come home to us when Angie was nine.
My husband, Peter, found him at a roadside adoption event and came back to the car holding a floppy-eared golden puppy while Angie screamed so loud people turned to laugh.
“We’re just looking,” I had said.
My husband smiled and handed her the leash. “We already looked.”
My mind went back to the one other loss that had once left my daughter just as heartbroken.
Two months later, Peter was gone in a motorbike crash.
After that, it was just the three of us. Benji slept outside Angie’s door, then outside mine, as if he couldn’t decide which one of us needed guarding more. He was the last living thing in our home that had belonged to the man we loved.
