Always Will You Live In My Heart.

Iam so open with you guys about almost everything that happens in my life, today has to be one of the hardest days of my life. 2 weeks ago we found out my dog Marky of 14 years had prostate cancer with not that much time to live since it was severe. At first of course I was hurt when I found out but I said to myself he will be just fine.  I really believed a miracle would of happen that he could stay with us much more longer, fast forward to today at 12:05 am he took his very last breath as we put him to sleep. 

My heart is literally in a million pieces, to some people it may seem as if he was just a " dog" but not to my family and I. He was part of the family, part of our lives for 14 years. He was honestly the little annoying loving brother I always wished for.  Boy oh boy I had my days with Marky to the point I would yell at him especially after him biting me. ( I have scars to prove it) but what's crazy now is that Iam thankful  for those scars because they will be my memory of him. He was such an amazing dog and will bite anyone that tried to hurt us. 14 years ago, my mother decided she wanted a dog not knowing he will be part of our lives. 

He was full of love, full of life and full of joy. I saw how he fought like a soldier these past two weeks to stay with us. He really tried, it seem as if he was afraid to leave us knowing it will hurt us. Some may wonder "Why is this relevant to CIY?". He was part of me and a part of CIY, he was there most of the times right by my side when I was writing the book or writing blogs. He was honestly my best friend, despite the fact he is always going to live in my heart, I physically lost a part of me. 

Marky, my baby I am going to miss you terribly. I going to miss you more than ever, who is going to greet me when I come home? Who is going to sleep with me some nights? Remember our arguments lol, I would tell him to get out of my room and he would bark at me until he got his last word. I swear he was telling me "Don't you be kicking me out my room?" lol. Thinking back as I write this, we had 14 years of amazing memories. I am at peace now knowing that you are no longer suffering and that no matter what and no matter where I am you will always be with me because you will forever live in my heart.
