 STORY OF
JAKE

16
Jake’s eyes snap open, and 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 long, deep breath –
really more of a sigh – and squeezes his eyes
closed, hoping that by slipping into the
darkness of a nap, he will temporarily mask
his sorrow.

17
For fifteen 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 the trail where the trees canopied over like
arches, wrapping them in a soft cool shade on a hot
sunny day. Even just a ride to the grocery store for
something Martha may have forgotten, they always
went together.

18
Though he knows that in some ways he should
be thankful for just having their time together –
those moments forever etched in his heart –
and that the sickness took Max quickly rather
than dragging out the pain for weeks, maybe
even months, he still feels cheated. That
somehow he is missing years that could have
been.

19
Unable to sleep, he looks around the all too
empty room, letting his gaze fall upon the leash,
which still hangs from the peg by the door. It
seems to wait patiently, ever ready for that next
big adventure. As his eyes well up, he realizes
for the first time how much his grief weighs,
how hard it is to even rise with such a heaviness
inside.

20
It is then he hears a shuffle from behind and turns to
see Martha standing in the doorway, her shoulder
resting against the frame.

21
“I thought you might be in here,”
she says. She looks down at him
for only a moment before her stare
drifts to the couch. “I miss him,
too, Jake. More than you’ll ever
know.”
22
There’s a faraway melancholy tone to her voice, but
he knows that her heart, like his, has a hole too big
to fill. His head drops and he gives off another long
sigh, which seems to prompt her to come over and
kneel down onto the carpet beside him. She slides a
hand under his chin and lifts it up, then tucks back
his long, floppy ears, such that their teary eyes can
meet. “I guess you do know, don’t you, Jake.”
