Lost My Best Friend

Wernher- My deepest condolences. I have lost a few long time companions. None closer to me than my Husky/Wolf, Shasta. He sailed as First Mate (don't tell my wife, she thinks she was First Mate, even back then) with me over thousands of miles. And, flew right seat with me for hundreds of hours. When I was away for weeks at a time, he would check my office and look for my truck every morning to see if I'd returned without his knowing. But, he knew I'd return. Even if I, or my wife, didn't. His son is with me now. But, it's different.

As Platapus said, he'll be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge...

My prayers are with you.
