Bono, for me, you left too soon, you could have lasted 50 years and you would have left too soon. You took a part of my heart with you, the part where all the adventures we lived side by side live.
You were much more than a dog. You were my best friend, my partner for all hours and my greatest support at every stage of life. We grew up together. You spent the hard days and the best moments with me: you were there during college, on the endless walks we took to forget about the world, you were the best friend to your big friend, you were the ring bearer at our wedding - and you did it like only you knew how, with a sparkle in your eye and a joy that charmed everyone.
You were by my side at the birth of our first child, and you accepted him as if you had known him all your life, with the same affection with which you had always welcomed me. We were accomplices in so many adventures - aimless runs, spontaneous journeys, afternoons of play, nights of silence and companionship. You lived everything with a pure, contagious happiness, and even when you were ill, you never lost the light you had inside you.
You were an example of strength, courage and love. A dog like no other.
Now you're no longer physically by my side, but I have no doubt that I've gained a guardian angel. I know that you continue to accompany me in spirit, as you always have.
I miss you terribly, and I know that I will miss you for the rest of my life. But I also know that your presence will always be with me - in every memory, in every step, in every smile.
Thank you, my dear Bono. For everything.
I'll take you with me forever.
