Days of Our Lives alum Peter Reckell and his family have faced some devastating losses over the last year, including his beloved father, who passed away just recently. Now, their family has had to say goodbye to their furbaby, Dodger. Reckell’s wife, Kelly, shared the heartbreaking news on social media stating, “Our beloved, Dodger, left us today. He was a very special being and we are honored that he chose our family as his own. We’ve had many profound losses this year. We are devastated.”
Along with the post was a sweet poem written by the couple’s daughter, Loden, which you can read below. We at Soap Opera News are keeping Peter and his family in our thoughts at this time.
Dodger,
Your soft, deep, loving eyes
stare into my soul
leaving it all out on the floor
You find the kindness
in all hearts, including mine
You are a great teacher
of love, harmony, and peace
You have given me and
all those who have loved you
many years of happy memories
and loved us more than should
have been possible
You are the being
I have always loved and cared for
and I hope I have shown you that
I will miss you extravagantly
but I know you have
a bigger purpose
than just loving us
Our hearts will always be
connected by an invisible cord
that is love
and it will never break
I love you and will miss you
more than you know
This isn’t goodbye …
it is only, “good night”
Love,
Loden
