Angel's Die Also

Angels die also! 3/5/2016 Where does one began to find the words to express a unique bond and love that has developed over many years A bond that is different from love of country, family, music or the many passions of life. A love of that has helped you overcome depression, loneliness, or when you are sick. A loyalty and devotion that is given 24/ 7 and from the heart. It’ called unconditional love and its from my little dog Mr Murphy. Over 18 years we have been together, exploring life every day. The walks on the beaches or the trails near our house. He would always walk ahead of me, or at my side, occasionally looking back or up at me for approval, or reassurance. Many times traveling in the car “ sucking air together” with his head out the window or sitting in my lap, watching the world around us. He especially enjoyed chasing a ball, and running up and down hills. At times he loved doing the “Bichon Blitz when he got excited and made us all laugh. At night he would sleep on the bed and rest his head on my neck or just by my side. This was his reward and he felt so safe. He enjoyed so many experiences with me and being content as my soul mate. Mr Murphy was a small dog but his spirit and love of life was much greater then his size. I sensed he understood my loyalty and love to him. I could never ask more from my little friend. In returned I was given loyalty and devotion from him, that was our unique bond. We always were there for each other everyday. Now that he is older, I know that our time is limited. I see the changes in him and it breaks my heart. I wish I had the power to keep him young and healthy. But of course I do not. We have grown older together over the years, each in our separate unique ways. It’s so hard realizing that we will go separate ways one day. But that bond and love will always be with me. Especially his spirit that will always be in my heart. I do hope and pray that when he closes his eyes for the last time, that it's a peaceful death. Then I will know an Angel has died also. Note: Mr Murphy was almost 19 years, but died this morning on 09/27/2016
