Dear Diary,
This morning I went in to have some dental work done and they found a mass under my tongue. Though I was still under sedation, I felt their pain as Paul, Nana, and Papa said their very tearful goodbyes to this very good boy. I hope they know how very much I loved them and enjoyed sharing my life with them.
Love,
Samson
Dear Diary,
I am crying as I type this… heartbroken. We had to say goodbye to Samson this morning. That he will be missed is quite the understatement. He brought so much love, joy, and laughter into our lives over these past almost 10 years. He was Paul’s dog, but he was ours also. He lived with us whenever Paul was out to sea and spent 3+ years living with us (and Audrey!) in the camper. We have spent almost every weekend over these past almost 3 1/2 years hanging out with Samson while Paul worked his 12 hour shifts. I hope he knew how very much he was loved and how very much we all enjoyed sharing this life with him. (I’m quite certain he did.)
Love,
Kathi

Kathi, I’m so sorry 😢. It is so hard to loose a fur baby. I have loved seeing your adventures and pictures of him through the years. He will be missed. Lelia

Kathi,
I still miss my lab, Daisy, and our little 7lb “rat dog” Toto. I visit the latter’s little “gravesite” regularly. It is wonderful to have the great memories as we grieve their loss. I will miss Samson’s diaries too. In a real sense, they helped me feel connected to you.
Love,
UPaul
