Lessons I learned from my dog:
"There is no greater sorrow than to recall a time of happiness in misery."
-- Dante
by Chantale
1. I learned that when I named him, he was not my property. I was not his master. He was a part of my
family. This was a privilege and loving him was a commitment as much as it was a responsibility.
After all--isn't that what love is...
2. I learned that moments make memories and that there are moments to be missed and memories
never forgotten.
3. I learned that when I gave of myself, my dog gave more.
4. I learned that love is selfless and does no harm.
5. I learned that when I couldn't be there for him, they were the hardest on him and me, but I learned to
forgive myself.
6. I learned that there is no such thing as closure.
​
7. I learned that acceptance is not about forgetting, it's about choosing to honor the memory.
​
8. I learned that life sometimes just isn't fair, but that tomorrow will come and a new day begins.
​
9. When Samson died, I felt like apart of me died too, but I learned to celebrate the legacy he left
behind because I loved him and he loved me too.
​
10. I recognize that there are some things I regret I did and some things that I didn't do, but I learned to
move on and forgive myself.
Every year since his passing, I walk his cart and trail the path we often shared, in honor and in memory for what he brought to my life and how he enriched my world, making me a better person. This is how I choose to never forget.
What can you do to move forward and honor his or her memory?
