My Hardest Moment of 2020
This year was like no other year I've experienced in the 50 years, I've been on the planet. Over 350,000 people have died so far. We are wearing masks, we are social distancing, people are out of work. And so much more. But that wasn't what set me back this year, even though I am encumbered. It was the loss of my pet, who has been with me for almost 15 years. Molly was an incredible family pet, who we adopted the same year we had our first child. She had an amazing disposition.
We got her in 2007 and were quickly evicted from our apartment, and had to find a new one. Luckily, I felt like she was worth it. Her soft playful demeanor, loyalty, and playfullness were a keeper. So we did, and had a long beautful life with her. As everyone of our children were born, there was Molly, our wonderful protector. She was a wonderful Dog and when we realized that her health wasn't getting any better. We made a deal with the vet and got another two weeks with her. On her final day, we let her out in the back yard and let her run around with our kids. As I hid back my tears, I realized she would be leaving. My wife and agreed I would stay with the kids, and she would go to the vet. It was horrible. I try and focus on the good and the great karma she left with our family. She taught me so much about life, and how to love, it's amazing what our pets bring us. The thing that surprised me, is when my wife got to the vet she had to wait in the car, to be called due to covid. It was quite an ordeal. When they put the I.V in molly she looked up and had such a look of piece in her eyes. That she could finally get some relief from her respiratory issue, and her enlarged heart. I will miss you old friend, and we will meet again. You can bet on it!
