Has it really been a month since you left us?
In some ways it seems like years……
We sure do miss you Sam. Everytime I visit my parents, I expect you to meet me at the door. Or, see you looking through the window. Eating lunch over there has not been the same since. I always looked forward to you begging for the table vittles. You would look up,wink, and move your little paws to get our attention. Gosh, you were so adorable.
You sure did help me through a tremendous amount over the past 5 years and I could never repay you. You were my one best friend who I knew I could count on no matter what. You were loyal. You were lovable. You were a kind and humble pet who will never be replaced.
I wish I would have been there the night you died. Mom said that you had a bad breathing spell from your diaphragmatic heria that would not stop. Within 10 minutes, you were gone. You never made it out of their driveway to the emergency vet. I will always wonder if I could have made a difference if I would have been there. But, I guess I will never know.
I buried you at our new house. You are beneath a big tree and I visit your grave all the time. You will never know how much love and life you brought to all of us. We miss you now and always. Enjoy your time in heaven and I hope to see when you I get there.
All My Love,
| Sam |
