Have any of you lost loved ones?

My dog Frodo passed away yesterday evening.
He'd been getting progressively weaker for months, suffering from cancer and severe old age. I'm relieved that his pain has finally ended.
I'm grateful to have had Frodo as part of my family for almost 15 years. I'll always remember his jubilance, energy, and kindness. He brought me so much happiness over the years. On days that I've felt down, he could always cheer me up.
It's going to be difficult now, to remind myself that he's no longer around. So many fond memories; running with him at parks, playing fetch with his favorite glove (which he eventually tore to shreds), and of course howling like a wolf as I played my clarinet.
I'm saddened now to realize that I'll never see him again. However, I don't regret a second of the time I've spent with him, ever since his day of adoption on August 17th, 2002.
For anyone who has lost pets, family, or firends; would you like to share your experiences with them? I'm feeling really sad now, but I'm curious to hear any happy stories that any of you might have, of good times that you've spent with anyone who's no longer with you. I've been thinking of all my good times with Frodo. Grateful to him for being with me for so long.
