The Last Walk Together
In the days that followed, Shadow surprised everyone.
Instead of fading away, he found small bursts of strength.
Michael took him on short walks in the park they used to visit.
Children who knew Shadow ran up to pet him, and neighbors smiled — aware they were witnessing something precious.
Each sunrise became a gift.
Each shared moment, a reminder that love could stretch time — even if only a little.
Michael stopped counting the days with fear and started living each one like a miracle.
