Ten years ago someone arrived; a thriving personality with beauty which could captivate the soul of a man with only one look. Together we played, we shared the couch when the tiresome day took its toll, we would sneak scraps from the table, we would tear apart the garbage for the goodies held inside, we ran through the snow, we moved to where the sun always shines, we said goodbye to a couple friends along the way, we grew. Happiness filled the air for years until a sickness crept into your body, though your spirit was far too strong to withdraw from the company you have been surrounded by for so long. Together we rested, we watched each other's backs, we hung on. The months carried on and you slowly began to slip away from us. Your scent subtly changed, your movements became uneasy, your activity was at a minimum, you were fed funny little pills. The sickness had finally thrust its cold heartless hands into you and no longer could you prevail against its tightening grip.

Today my best friend was taken from me. However, I will never forget all the times we shared together, the security you gave me, the love you gave me.
