I found the lump last night
and heard today, that it is
Cancer. They said you are not
long for this world, my little
friend. Cancer flowing through
your little body has spread from
your severed ear.
They told me to take you home
and let you live your days with
love. Living out your life in
familiar surrounds will make
your time pass a little easier.
But not for me.
To my little best friend, I will
show you all the love I can
till God says you have to go......
Dear Sammy, save a spot for me.
