That you were laying by my bed, mere hours after dying. You looked at me and cocked your head,\u0026nbsp; as though you couldn't see, just exactly how much your life meant to me. I watched you grow from just a pup, and gave you\u0026nbsp;love almost everyday, until those terrible two weeks in which you slipped away. I tried to pet your head, though you ran away, and walked towards the door, with a look that said, \"I can't stay.\"\u0026nbsp;I nodded said \"I love you.\" and you just wagged your tail.,\u0026nbsp;silently telling me, I didn't have to tell. I\u0026nbsp;wish that I had been there when you took your final breath, But know that I still love you even after death. So ended my simple dream that even\u0026nbsp; now has me crying. Of you coming to me, to say goodbye, hours after dying.\n\nI love you Patches\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
