On Monday, we had to put our Chocolate Lab, Charlie, down due to the cancer he was fighting. It is funny how a dog can become so ingrained in your life. And how you miss them when they are gone. I walk through the door expecting to see and hear him and he is not there. Then I realize the emptiness.
The same is true for others in our lives. We are surrounded by friends and family that we take for granted. We sometimes neglect to tell them how we feel; we just expect them to always be around. Then, circumstances change. They move...you move. They end their their journey in this world. Whatever the circumstances, when they are not there, we feel the emptiness, the loneliness. We realize the missed opportunity to express our love.
Don't let today go by without telling those you care about how you feel. Celebrate the friendship of that special someone. Let them know you care.
To my family and close friends...you know who you are. I love you! You too, Charlie Dawg.
Sorry for the loss of your friend. I know you will miss him terribly. It is so true about taking our friends/family for granted...something for all of us to think about. I'm so thankful for mine, they mean so much.
