Jon, it's hard to know what to say at times like this. There are many of us who feel your pain of loss and your story brings back our own sad memories. Just know that what you had with Abby will never leave you. As you wrote, she will be running free and easy, and in my belief, she will be waiting for you to hunt with you again some day.
I hope you find peace.
