A Tribute

live your story, faith, hope and glory

hold to the truth in your heart.

there comes a point in everybody's life, where we are bound to experience a form of loss. it could be a miniscule almost insignificant loss of a dress, a pencil or someone's email address; it could also be a more devastating loss of a loved one, a friend or a spouse. but nonetheless, a loss is a loss; it creates in you an empty void robbed of hope that when something is lost, you can never get it back.

it is heartwrenching to write this knowing i once came so close to losing someone i love so much, and having pulled through that must now endure a loss that is beyond my reach. if you know what it's like to realize that someone or something is slipping from your grasp, and yet you are powerless to do anything, then you will understand how much it really hurts.

HEIDI KOH has been the loyal faithful loving dog that dutifully served my family for over 10 years. tomorrow she will be returning home to reunite with ANGIE in heaven where God awaits to greet her with open arms. although losing a pet is nowhere near comparable to losing a human being, dogs are just like us, only with four legs and the incapability to form sentences.

my only source of comfort now is holding tight to the promise of God that there will be no sicknesses, deformities or tears in heaven. as unbearable as it is to see her leave us, im glad that her suffering will be put to an end; i know she will leave us with a smile. and one day, i will be waiting for her to run into my arms, when we meet again.

HEIDI, you have been the most joyous blessing in this family. for all the times you've guard our house, entertained us with your heidi-ness and made us smile, i thankyou. its been a wonderful ten years, and i vow to hold on to each and every memory till the day we shall meet again. :)

smile through it all.
