about it and sharing might be therapy for my mind. We might be anonymous here... but we share the conspicuous pains that are caused by losing a beloved living being that we didn't want to lose. I lost that today. I just wanted to share that and what other wonderful posters here have expressed... that sense of shock in losing something that comes as close to unconditional love as we may know in our lifetime. Hopefully not... but in this case... I've known no greater love.
So with that... I'm going to pull the plug off the anonymous nature of losing a beloved pet and show the reality of it. Maybe we can more empathize with our fellow posters by expressing commonality in losing something greater than a football game. I lost a great friend today, a great friend to my best friend and my son... who thought the world of only three things... his dad, his mother and his beloved dog. He said da da... I can replace all the toys I have... but no one can replace Boo. This was Boo. My dog... my friend.
He never took a day off from meeting me at my door and bounding like a kangaroo. He never took a sick day, Even when he was sick, he would greet me at my door when I came home from work. 365 days a year he was dependable. Until he got so sick he couldn't do it anymore. So I am left with that void... that I know that my family and "brothers" here will fill in his absence. I wish him God speed from the pain that afflicted him his last days and I wanted to put a face out there for the people who post here.. and give perspective to what is most important in life.
His life was most important along with all we come into contact with on a daily basis. They make our lives what they are and I'd be remiss without the memories I share with the people I share my life with daily. So excuse me for vocalizing my pain... but I wanted to share my story with others who have come before me who have shared their story of loss... of their "best friend". I hurt with you then... now I just hurt deeper.
Every man dies... NOT every man lives. I lived many lives with my best friend and I will miss you to the end of my days... never forgetting what you meant to me and what you will always mean to me. You were simply... THE BEST. No greater love or more unconditional. I will see you again one day... Boo.
And my name is Aaron Malone... I didn't want my love to be anonymous.
