More from Lang_Shu
Today has been a parade of pain and heartbreak. An immediate family member of mine is hospitalized with congestive heart failure, and with no income to our family, I was forced to make one of the most painful decisions anyone could make; to give away something that requires care, but at the same time something that I closely love. Kiara Jersey DeLair, the real life labrador/pitbull who inspired my character of the same name and who is my closest and only nearby friend I have, was taken to the humane society today.
All day long, I was repetitively and annoyingly assured that it was the right thing to do, as if simply because I was emotional over it. As if, I couldn't understand without constantly being pestered over that point. I understand that the changes in our family, from our home to our hospitalized family member, is not fair to Kiara, and this final change will give her a more stable, and hopefully just as stable, family.
I agree, and she does deserve better than we can currently, or perhaps ever again, provide. Still, as a human being , it is my right to be heartbroken, especially when forced to give up one family member for the sake of another. I know its the right thing, but no one said doing the right thing was something one could always pull through without being scarred, whether in mind, body, or heart.
Goodbye, Kiara. You were a once-in-a-lifetime friend for whom it would be futile to even consider replacing. You were my greatest source of assurance, comfort, and fun. Someday, and God willing, someday soon, you'll do the same for someone else, who may even need your companionship even more than me. And God above knows I need you now more than ever. But, the sooner your adopted into a better home, the sooner I can mend my heart.
Until then, and even beyond that, I will hold my love for you, as any man would love his animal companion. If we never reunite in life, then you are just one more reason I look forward to Heaven, when the trumpet sounds or when I am called home. If that is how it must be, then I bid you farewell, until Heaven.
