八年前，死亡第一次在我眼前真实地发生。
当时，你已病入膏肓有整整一个星期站不起来了。在兽医院时，你突然使劲了力量站起来看了我一眼后，就吐血到卧不起。
兽医给你进行急救，我却只能无助地站到一旁默默的为你祈祷。这一幕就像美国连续剧ER的情节。不同的是，发生在我眼前的事是真实的而并非虚构的。
遗憾的是，经过一番抢救，你仍然是回魂乏术。
兽医取除了口罩对我说：“I'm sorry, he's gone…”
我崩溃了。你只有7岁。
我一直都忘不了你最后看我的眼神。让我好心疼，好不舍…
之后好一阵子，我都不愿提起你。看到人家的狗儿更是伤感。但现在，我已经完全释然。
我们都有过“失去”的经历 - 失去宠物，失去一段感情，甚至是亲人。
总有一些人和事，过去了就是过去了，再也不会回来，而我们会以怎样的心情想起他们？伤感？悲痛？愤怒？还是难以释怀？
或者，我们可以以另一种方式来记起他们，带着微笑，怀着感恩。
感谢他们曾走进我们的生活，丰富了我们的人生。
谢谢你，Dexter。
