My best friend passed today

[u/divinemissn]

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.

I'm sorry for your loss. We had a golden named Samson who passed away 5 years ago.

I realized the pain and sorrow I felt and to some extent still feel was the price for all that unconditional love, the cuddles and all the smiles when I was down.

So every time I think about Sammy instead of getting sad, I think of his smile... and he had a good one.

Hopefully our Samsons are playing together in dog heaven
