Miniature Schnauzer
I am on the verge of losing my best friend Misty.
We’ve been together since she was a puppy and I was 5.
Just over the weekend we found out that a small tumor on her
side was cancerous and that it has spread up her brain stem.
She is alive as I write this but not for long.
I am 400 miles away having moved away from home exactly
two years ago to the day. I cannot stop crying.
It hurts. But I have so many memories.
Misty and I did everything. We went on hikes played hide
and sneak played catch tug of war… when I was little I used
to play school with her. She was my best student!
I have countless memories of her.I taught her to shake
hands and kiss.
She loved those little dog bones we’d call tasties.
She was always a shoulder to cry on and a great comforter
when I was down.
She was always wonderful company. We are best friends.
I am depressed because I am losing her now. Or am I?
The first question I have had is… will she be in heaven waiting for me?
Will we be reunited? I believe beyond a doubt now that we will be.
This is now my comfort. One day again we’ll play hide and seek.
One day we will play catch again. It is likely she will even be able
to talk then. Imagine that! I look forward to our reunion.
For now I just have to live my life.
God is going to take care of my Misty
for me for now.
