This song hit me right in the gut the first time I heard it. Such a perfect sentiment at just the right moment.

It was the day before we had to put my childhood dog to sleep and I was having a great day. I had just gotten a raise and had a talk with the boss about plans for the future, which were coming along exactly as I hoped. Driving home from work on this beautiful, sunny day, I was doing my best to ignore the sadness waiting just under the surface, when this song came on a mix CD that a friend gave me.

The words and melody hit me like a ton of bricks. It wasn't long before I broke down and just started crying. I had been shutting out the reality of losing one of my best friends and the pain that comes along with it. The song beautifully mixes the pain of death and loss with hope for the future and love of life.

I wish I was half the wrtiter Regina is so I could properly express the impact this song has had on me.

That's a beautiful story. I'm sorry about your dog, there is nothing quite like having to say goodbye to a good dog.
