I have hit my all time low. Call it the depths of despair. The depression, which I have never felt has exploded! I don’t recall ever feeling so lonely or forsaken. People I have trusted have betrayed me and the same people I have loved now hate me. My work and efforts have no meaning and the life I have been striving for is gone. I’m so sad. I can only put my face in my hands and cry.
At the very pit of my sorrow, I feel a wet nose softly touch me. There is my faithful companion Lex. His brown eyes are soft and pleading as if he can feel my thoughts and sympathize with my anguish.
My dear departed Grandfather once told me “If you are in trouble, it is not your friends but your family that will be there for you.” I wish I could tell my dear Grandpa, “No! It will be just the dog!” Families take advantage and your friends are only around during good times.
Only a dog can give you the unconditional love, trust and loyalty that you will never receive from people. A dog will want to see you happy and if you are not he will be with you through the groom and doom. I’m suffering a gloom that the dog can not help but at least it feels good to know he’s there.
