Montāžas Teksta
- I hope that by sleeping into the darkness of a nap , I will temporarily mask my sorrow.
- Jake's eyes open, he quickly turns to the side. But like his aching heart , the spot where Max always sat on the couch remains empty. He takes in a deep breath-really more of a sigh -and squeezes his eyes close.

- ILLISTRATED BY: DAPHNE B. AXALAN
- For 15 years , they were inseparable, Always side by side. The walks on the beach with the gentle waves calling, the seagulls cawing. all those hikes on trail and even just a ride to the grocery store for something Martha may have forgotten .
- Though he knows in some ways he should be thankful for just having their time together-those moments forever etched in his heart. Somehow, he is missing the years that could have been.
- The sickness took Max quickly rather then dragging out the pain for weeks, maybe even months.
- As his eyes well up, he realizes for the first time how much his grief weighs, how hard it is even to rise with such a heaviness inside.
- It seems to wait patiently, ever ready for the next big adventure.
- Unable to sleep , he looks around the all empty room, letting his gaze fall upon the leash, which still hangs from the peg by the door .
- It is then he hears a shuffle from behind and turns to see Martha standing in the doorway, her shoulder resting the frame.
- I thought you might be here. I miss him too Jake, more than you'll ever know.
- There's a faraway melancholy tone to her voice but he knows her heart, like his...has a hole too big to fill.
- I guess you do know, don't you Jake?
