My earliest encounter with the death of a friend was when an “uncle” I’d grown up around, lost his battle with cancer. I didn’t get to see him but I remember the feeling of insecurity it gave me in my preteen years.

A few years later, I literally came face to face with death, when we had to put our dog, Spots, down after a car accident. Watching the life drain from his trusting eyes, as I held his head in my hands, was not something I was prepared for. Every time I remember that day, I am unable to shake the deep sadness that floods over me.
