Coping with a Loss of a Friend

I've always had pets at home ever since I could remember. (My mom tells me that I had shared my crib with our cat.) So I know I have a soft spot with animals, specially cats and dogs.

And then, I got Sam, a German Shepherd dog. I never would have imagined loving a dog like I loved Sam. Yeah, we got dogs before. They come and go. There was even a time that mom sold them to bad guys who buy dogs. (The guys riding a tricycle). I got mad but didn't do anything about it.


For more than 2 years that I had Sam, we had our share of fun and adventure. Sam is a very smart and affectionate dog, so I don't have any problem bringing her to places with a lot of people. We went jogging, ran in a marathon,a actually win! I'm so proud of her. Sometimes, just going to the field, walking, playing ball, running and riding a side car. it was so much fun. Some people in our village is afraid of her because she's so big, but once they get to know her (pet her or if Sam wags her tail greeting them), they became very fond of her. =)


She's also became a part of me and MacMac's relationship. I'm happy that Mac and Andrei (Mac's nephew) adore her. 


I miss you Sam..I miss everything we do together. You've always been there for me. Thank you for all your love and loyalty. You have taught me how to love unconditionally and treat you not just a pet but also a friend, a companion, a child, a sister.


I will remember her and all time time we had together. I love you, Sam and you will always be in my heart.

tears in heaven

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven?

Would it be the same

If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong

And carry on,

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in heaven?

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in heaven?

I'll find my way

Through night and day,

'Cause I know I just can't stay

Here in heaven.

Time can bring you down,

Time can bend your knees.

Time can break your heart,

Have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door,

There's peace I'm sure,

And I know there'll be no more

Tears in heaven.

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven?

Would it be the same

If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong

And carry on,

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven.
