Sam: This is a story about me and my favorite companion and snuggle buddy (Bob - The Female Cat). Most of us know, the love for an animal can be very strong. Bob has been there for me through the good times and the bad. Good or bad, she is always purring and rubbing her face into mine. Animals can be very reliable for their love. Life is amazing and should always be appreciated. Sometimes I''ve found myself ready to give up and stop trying, and have said things like "I don''t think I can" or "I don''t think it''s worth it." I didn''t always know what support is available because I didn''t reach out and ask. When I understood my feelings and became aware of how they affected others, I was able to offer something special.
