Why did you go away?

April 7, the most astonishing day of my life! Having a furry friend like Freddie was the happiest days of my life. I’m not sure how many of you will agree with me, but losing a pet is unbearable. The day he left, my heart forgot how to go on without him.For others he was ‘just a dog’ but for me he was my companion in my bad and good times.I

often sit alone and think about that day he left me.Three years have passed and I still cannot understand the reason why he didn’t come home that day, like any other day. What really happened that day? No one knows about that story. The way I used to smile when I saw his shining eyes, those shiny eyes filled my heart with happiness. Those tears rolled down from my eyes when he sat on my lap and I shared my secrets with him. It’s only real for everyone to think he died that day but only thing I can say is a part of me died that day. Like everyone says he is never going to come back. Yeah! He will never, but I have faith he is watching me over at each and every step of my life, like sun rays do in day and stars at night. What I believe is that the day I will get to know the reason of him leaving me will be only when I go to the door of the almighty! Yes, I know he will be waiting for me on the staircase to paradise. For now, I shall wait to connect with him again, feel his presence again and ask him, ‘Why did you go away?’
