Shakira was more than just a companion. She was my best friend. She was two years old when she died of a heart attack. I just found out this morning. On the 26th. Three whole days after her spirit left her energetic body. I was on vacation in the mountains with my aunt and cousins for spring break. My parents didn't want to ruin my wonderful time, so they decided to tell me after. The roads were icy on the way home so instead of 30 minutes in the car we spent an hour. I cried the whole way home. Nobody knows yet. I don't know how I can cope the rest of my life without my Shakira by my side. I only had her for two years. She was the best dog ever in my eyes. I never thought I would lose her this early. I loved her more than anyone else in the world - maybe even my parents. I was in the middle of training her to do agility. I imagined the two of us running side-by-side through the obstacles of the course. Whenever I had a bad day at school, I could always count on Shakira to be right by me comforting me. I loved her so much. It's just not fair that she had to go this soon. I will always love her and will never forget her. One day I will see her on that rainbow bridge and she will leap into my arms and we will hold each other. But till then, I have to wait and live life fully. Happily. I will never remove her from my heart. No matter what, there will always be a place for you, Shakira. I love you. ~ Jackie

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
You were once my one companion You were all that mattered . . . ... then my world was shattered . . .
Wishing you were somehow here again . . . wishing you were somehow near . . . Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed, somehow you would be here . . .
Wishing I could hear your voice again . . . knowing that I never would . . . Dreaming of you won't help me to do all that you dreamed I could . . .
Passing bells and sculpted angels, cold and monumental, seem, for you, the wrong companions - you were warm and gentle . . .
Too many years fighting back tears . . . Why can't the past just die . . .?
Wishing you were somehow here again . . . knowing we must say goodbye . . . Try to forgive . . . teach me to live . . . give me the strength to try . . . No more memories, no more silent tears . . . No more gazing across the wasted years . . .
Help me say goodbye.
