Someone I Loved With All My Heart Passed Away — Just Like That
One minute they are here — the next, they are gone.
Today I lost someone that meant the world to me.
Through my work meeting, I was inundated with many missed calls. I knew something was wrong.
Worst-case scenarios speed through my head — was my daughter in trouble?
When I finally called back, my daughter told me the bad news.
Our beloved toy poodle of 6 years had lost his life.
He ran across the street to greet one of his neighbourhood dog mates and was quickly met with a speeding car.
The car hit him and sped off (going 80k mph in a 60 km hour zone).
It was a school zone.
And just like that, he died instantly in my partner’s hands.
This wonderful dog of mine, who I referred to as my fur son, was my everything.
We would take walks together all the time; it was our routine.
He was also there during the worst time of my life — when mum was passing away from cancer.
