Just one regret

In a world where we are assaulted with media reports of the tragic death in a fire of three youngster in Northern Manitoba, the mysterious death of a young French Canadian soldier in Afghanistan, the news of three woman dying in a warehouse in Quebec after the snow laden roof collapsed; a story of the passing of a pet might seem trivial.  

But you see he actually wasn’t just a pet, he was also a companion and confident who completely epitomized the sweet-tempered, intelligent, sociable traits of the Himalayan breed. He was a part of my world for eleven years, and now he’s suddenly, and unexpectedly gone, and I feel like I’ve been kicked in the guts, and need some time to grieve.

I’d like to think that he always knew and understood how much he meant to me, because he never hesitated to show how much I meant to him, in so many ways. Thank you my friend. I will miss you, and my one regret is that it was far too soon.
