I dreamt of Lucky

I dreamt of Lucky last night. And I cried when I wake up.

Tears well in my eyes whenever I recall Lucky...

Lucky is my beloved late dog. And I believe he is the best dog on earth. One and only...

But it's only until today that I realised why am I always sad when I recall LUcky. It's not cos Lucky is dead or has pass away or whatever. But cos I didn't give him that extra hug when I had the chance. That one or many short of whispers that I love him. That few missing strokes that would comfort him (Lucky towards his late years turn partially blind, then completely blind and a little deafness . His only connection to this world was th' us. Our touches, our whispers, our hugs.) I didn't cuddle him to bed when he was very sick. I knew he was. I even knew that he might not make it that time -- I told him 'Lucky, wait for Jiejie to come back'. Left for Mel on 25 and arrived in Sin on 27 Dec and I have lost him. But I know he tried to wait for his Jie jie. My Dad related to me on how Lucky struggled to get up (he couldn't walk during that time. He was too sick.), took a few steps (he was trying to look for his Jiejie), grasp for his last breathe and he went to Heaven... Even at the verge of his death, his main concern was us...

I am crying as I type these cos I didn't treasure Lucky, the best dog on Earth. I didn't hug him enough, love him enough, stroke him enough, cuddle him enough, play with him enough, accompany enough... I am crying cos it's too late...

So for Lucky's sake, give that person or whatever a hug today. Or whisper into his ears that you love him. Or jus sit with him by the door in silence, enjoying each other's company. For when it's too late the good memories burn and all you can do is cry...
