I don't know where to start, you came into my life when I was lonely and needed a friend, You went on to be more than just a pet. You filled the void in my life that was caused by being the only child to my parents. You became the one I could talk to The one I could share my secrets with, the one I knew would be waiting for me when I get back from school, someone I could laugh with, my comforter when I was sad.
It was 15 years ago, I was on my way to the tuition when I found out that my teacher's neighbour's dog had given birth to six puppies a few days ago. So, I rushed to see them(though I went there with no intention to get one home). but, the moment I first laid my eyes on her, I knew I had to get her home, It is often difficult to choose one out of 6 puppies but in this case, it was not. This white little fluffy angel of fur staring at me with those sparkling eyes? you can say it was love at first sight.
I always knew that dogs have a short life span, but never in my wildest dreams I thought that these years would swift pass by. I always thought we had more time. But to my greatest fear, it had to come to an end. Today was the day. My heart hurts, as though I can physically feel the pain in my chest. In my head, i am screaming through the void of space as my body floats through the nothingness. I am sitting at my desk scrolling through my phone looking at our pictures. Words cannot describe how I feel. So I'm just gonna share a poem I remember reading a long time ago.
I lost a treasured friend today
The little dog who used to lay
Her gentle head upon my knee
And shared her silent thoughts with me.
She’ll come no longer to my call
Retrieve no more her favourite ball
A voice far greater than my own
Has called her to his golden throne.
Although my eyes are filled with tears
I thank him for the happy years
He let her spend down here with me
And for her love and loyalty.
When it is time for me to go
And join her there, this much I know
I shall not fear the transient dark
For she will greet me with a bark.
I Miss You Fluffy
