He was my child. He gave me everything I needed to be who I was. He was a beautiful canine, who asked nothing from me yet gave me everything he had. We were so lucky to find each other, yet me more than he. He was a quirky puppy who had no idea what life was about. I brought him to my home and he didn't even care what was so bad or why. He just loved me no matter what I did or said and it was sincere and unconditional. He was my friend and he truly wanted to be with me. What more can I say. He was my best friend, he loved me and I loved him. I had to make the choice to put him out of his misery and for that I will always ask forgiveness. He can never be replaced and I can never forget his love and my love for him. He was and will always be my very best friend. His name was Bear and I still cry frequently missing him terribly. He sits in an urn on my bedside table with his youthfull picture next to it. I cannot and willnot forget his loyalty to me and I will miss him every day until the day we meet again. Yhis is not a poem, this is not a eulogy, this is my true heart felt feelings for the greatest love I have ever known.
