My good friend Hazel died Saturday and my heart is broken.
Four years ago when I moved all alone to Albany, Georgia, Hazel was one of my first friends. I can't explain it, but Hazel and I were just instantly close -- we gravitated to each other. Maybe because are both gregarious southern women with a lot of attitude. I think we just understood and appreciated each other for what we were. When Hazel and I were together there were no pretenses. We were just ourselves -- fat, happy and sassy.
I know that might be over-simply stated, but in a nutshell that's why she was so important to me. She was loyal, kind and loving. She made me laugh and gave me comfort.
Hazel Holmes was a 13 year old mixed breed dog. She was a big, beautiful woman and I loved her very much. She was a better person than most of the humans I have met in this world and, saddly, my world is a little dimmer without her.
Enjoy Heaven, Hazel. May the memories you gave your mama and daddy make them smile for years to come.
