Roger's blog essay "Blackie Come Home"
Why did I choose this essay?
Roger's essay about Blackie and Ming brought back haunting memories and aptly described the emptiness that a beloved canine leaves behind. As children or adults, we don't forget, that void remains. As Roger expressed it: "I have an empty space inside myself that can only be filled by a dog."
