Powder, My Dear Best Friend

by John Sundahl
(California)

You were my dearest friend and companion for 14 years. I will cherish those years and wait to see you in the afterlife.

Lord Buddha wrote “Oh Noble Creature the time has come for the two of us to part. And for you to go to a better place, a place deep inside my heart. A place where you’ll be be free to chase cars and balls and play. So go noble creature thru that doggy door. And fetch a stick. And wag thy tail forevermore while a friendly voice repeats, “Good dog, good dog.”

I love you.

What a Horrible Day
by: David Hayes

John was my good friend. I owe my sobriety to him and will always be grateful. My two kids called him Uncle John and they are heart-broken.

Rest well, friend.

John Sundahl was flying near Kabul, where he worked as a private helicopter pilot, earlier this month when a missile hit his aircraft and killed him. RIP John...

I did not know you or your dear friend Powder, but after reading your poem I feel like my doggy is in good company. She passed last week. I hope Powder is showing her the ropes in doggy heaven.

It's sad when a friend passes away.

Lord Buddha wasn't really acquainted with cars. The poem is from the movie "Say It Isn't So."
