LOSS OF A DOG

If you've ever known the joyful sound
Of barks that fill the air-
A sloppy kiss, a friendly paw,
A quiet adoring stare-
If you've ever had a special friend
To share a tear or two,
Or maybe just a wagging tail
To lift you when you're blue-
If you've ever felt the wrenching pain
That only death can send,
Then you have lost Not just a dog-
You've truly lost a friend.
But God is good and treasures love
And there at Heaven's gate-
A sloppy kiss, a joyful bark-
Your precious friend awaits.

My dearest Nana,

I can’t even remember now how long it has been nor I want to remember what exactly happened. All I can and want to remember is your playfulness and sad-looking brown eyes that lights up when they see me or Mama Helen coming home.

I miss our morning walks…I miss giving you baths…I miss feeding you and now, that we got a little more than enough, how I wish you’re still here so we can give you more of your favorites.

I haven’t cried for you…as I didn’t think much of how you’ve truly met your end. And it hurts me more to think that I was not there to do something to help you.

I don’t want to ask and know who have hurt you as I may not be able to forgive them…I don’t want to know the people who have not done something to help you… But I pray that they be enlightened and realize what they did or not have done. And may God bless me with grace of forgiveness in my heart for these people.

Nanie, Angging now and Nonoy has gotten married. You could have been our “first baby”…

I’ll forever remember you Nana…you and Lala will always be special to me and everyone in the family.

May you be happy wherever you and Lala are now… and hope you’re keeping our Lola Lisa and Lolo Melio company…

Bye for now, Nanie...


Love,
Angging
