Sammy kelly

 Sammy is a beautiful, outgoing, kind, and gentle soul. She was taught from a young age tricks like fetch, sit, dance and to bring put her blanky back in her bed. My nan got her from a puppy and raised her into the beautiful, smart and gentle dog she is today.

7 years ago, my nan got diagnosed with cancer and after a strong battle with cancer she lost her life. Shortly before she passed she asked if I would take care of Sammy for her, love her as she would and i did.

My nan had always spoiled her, she had more clothes for Sammy then the average teenage girl. Sammy really had the best of the best, so I continued that life style with her. Sammy loved her spa days with blueberry facials, rides in the car and trips to the cabin. Even ice cream dates just for her. She was the light of my life.
 

Sammy was with me when I graduated high school, she got me through my first heart break, she stood by me as I graduated  college, snuggled me everyday of my pregnancy and slept next to my sons crib every night. Sammy moved with me to my first apartment and then to my first house I bought. She was with me through everything.

They say "with great grief comes great love" and I truly believe that. On November 6, 2022 Sammy left this world and took a piece of my heart with her. she was diagnosed with kidney disease with her age sight loss and hearing loss they didn’t think there was much that they could do or quality of life left so we took her for euthanasia.

I held her and rocked her I loved her and sang to her and reassured her that my name was waiting for her on the other side to greet her, then I watch the light leave her eyes and a piece of me went with her.

they say grief isn’t linear and at this point I’m truly only a day into it but I’m really not sure how I’m going to be OK when I still see her around as if she was still here. 

In memory of my beautiful Sammy I love you with every fibre of my being my sweet girl may you rest peacefully
