Great was his love
Heavy the grief
Beautiful the memories
He left behind with me

When all is said and done,
the light still goes out and I am alone with these things
With memories of a Great Dog, who died when he was 12 years and three months
I will remember always how he looked upon me, before disease stole his body
because he has cancer in the sleen and liver
You’d never know because he always followed close and he watched me with all his being,
before disease stole his body.
When all is said and done and a new day is on the rise
I will remember this Great White Dog with his dark eyes
And how he ever heard me call his name
but I never had to call him twice . . .
How he ever heard me tell him I loved him
yet he loved back triple-fold in his response to me
When all is said and done, I never reached out like that before
and no human ever touched me like him in places of my heart I never thought existed
before disease stole his body
I was the world he saw and loved and when they closed forever
so my forever was closed

No human ever touched me like that

No wonder God wanted him Back . . .

This is the end of a legend.
Two White Dogs,
Father Amigo and Son Raices,
who walked through life as two great friends full of Love and Trust and totally grow together.
I will miss them terribly and I don’t know if I ever can live without them.

 

With Love
