I took a bath and got ready to fetch my little baby. I am way too excited in getting one because I've always wanted that since I was 5 years old. I went for my car keys and kissed my mom, she asked me where I will go.
"Mom, I'll just go to the nearest pet shop in town." I said and smiled, waving goodbye.
It was like being a single parent. Pregnant and going to the hospital without anybody and going home with a little baby by your side.
I pulled over to the nearest pet shop and there was a little Husky in there. Thank God!
I went in and asked for the dog's name.
"Her name is Saudade." The woman in the shop said.
And so I went and bought all of Saudade's needs. Food, Shelter, and the likes.
The owner gave me Saudade's birth certificate and all that I am eligible to bring because I bought her.
Once I got home, I played with Saudade for a bit and trying to keep him and myself company, and enjoying her new home, wishing and visualizing Jake & I playing with her.
I decided to check the internet that Saudade means.
"Saudade - a deep nostalgia felt when yearning for something or someone who is not there."
Saudade and I were brought together by fate. Well I think Saudade is an emblem for a deep nostalgia I am feeling now, trying to know what it is like if Jake came with me and did not break his promise. But sadly, he is not here.
On this day, Saudade became my everyday reminder that ;
One, promises are really meant to be broken.
Two, never forget your friends when you stepped into a relationship.
Keep that in mind & let it sink in.
