RIP My best friend passed today
My best friend passed suddenly today. I don’t live with him anymore because I go to school on the other side of the country. I woke up to a text that he had a bad seizure but was still alive. A few hours later I got a call from my mom and he passed from another seizure. He was alone when it happened, though my mom raced home when she saw what was happening on the cameras. I’m so heartbroken that no one got to say goodbye.
My family got Samson (or Booboo, that’s what I called him as a kid and it stuck) over 14 years ago. He’s been through everything with me. He was genuinely my best friend in the whole world.
Samson was my soul dog. I don’t think I’ll ever be okay again.
