One Last Road Trip
March 1989 - May 2009
his spirit has gone to the Light ...
Sam went with us to the high desert in Utah ... we knew he was very close to dying yet we could not bear to leave him, so we took him to see our teacher, Brant Secunda, one last time. Brant gave Sam a blessing on Wednesday at midnight. Sam's spirit left his body at 10:00 Thursday morning. As he breathed his last breaths, I lay on the floor next to Sam, my face just inches away from his eyes: he looked at me til the very end. Tim had his hand on Sam's heart and we both told him over and over that it was okay to leave ... that he had been the best pup ever and that we loved him more than anything.
the last thing he knew was the sound of our voices and the touch of our hands stroking his head, gently scratching behind his good ear and touching his heart.
Sam died peacefully and naturally
surrounded by our love...
I miss him so much.
My heart has a hole now.
Yet I know he is in a good place.
I took this last photo of Sam sleeping on the back seat of our car on the way down to Zion, Utah. His face was so white!
Go to the Light, Sam, go to the Light like an arrow
