because Happiness has a name

Hunny.

this week was probably the hardest, if not ever, definitely... in the last decade. our precious dog Hunny passed away. this was so very difficult, and overwhelming.. but it is better this way as she was in much pain. it is so incredibly unbearable to see someone you love in that kind of pain.. its unreal. I am away at school and so I wasn't around for much of it, including her being put down. my parents called me late (about 12 midnight) to say she got really sick in the hospital and they were going to put her down.. but I was in the library and my phone was on silent so I didn't hear it go off until it was too late... that was really difficult. this whole thing has just been a nightmare. I can't even really fully believe she is .. gone. like, she's not coming back and we wont walk, talk, roll and play together. but I certainly have some amazingly wonderful memories that I will forever cherish. this whole thing has made me realize how blessed we are to even breathe every morning, to have the love and health of those around us. we take that for granted... seriously. I know before Hunny was mine she was the Lords and He gives and He takes away.

I wrote a song for Hunny, but I don't have the best voice so I am going to ask a few people to sing it (after I teach them how I want it done) and see which I like best, and then record it. here are the lyrics, they're nothing special really... but it means so much to me.

my gift of love,
my gift of life,
you will be...
forever mine.
my gift of love,
my gift, of life
you will be...
forever mine.

[chorus]
and wherever you go
you will know
that we loved
love you, so
and wherever you go,
yes you know
that we loved
love you so


and though you're gone,
it's not for long.
time will pass,
fast so fast.
one day it'll be,
baby just you and me

[chorus]

your memory,
like a melody..
precious memory,
always a melody.


forever my, song
my heart, beat
baby go...
now you're... free


RIP Hun, you will be forever mine
-S

  1. Oh Sara, this post breaks my heart. I am so, so sorry for your loss and for your family. I know how hard it is, and that the bond we can have with our pets is something very, very special and very unique and like no other. You will forever have beautiful memories of her, and I know she's in heaven running around with a heart of joy.
