There is No Tomorrow – Take the Rides Now

My last drive with Sammy on January 30th, 2020.. I did not know this would be our last drive together.

Five years ago today, Sammy decided to never wake up again on Thursday morning on January 30th, 2020… He was the love of my life. He was my little Budski. That’s what I called him in our private life. My family and close friends knew tthat. I used to write about his nickname sometimes as well. So, a lot of you probably have heard that name beore.

I landed in Florida on March 28th, 2019. The first and last drive we took together was on October 23rd, 2019. He loved our little car rides together. Then on January 30th, 2020, Sammy decided never to wake up again. My little Budski was gone like the wind.

Of course I was with him everyday. But, he always loved our rides together from back in NYC and Puerto Rico. I was so busy in Florida running back and forth between 2 houses, and working full time that I let the quality time slip through our hands.

It never feels like we have the time, but that always changes when we lose a loved one. Then we realize we DID have the time. The rides we took together were just 15 minutes or so, but they made his world. Everyone has 15 minutes to spare.

I lost Sammy just a few weeks before Covid turned the world upside down. In his honor I’ve converted all of the coronavirus downtime into quality time with my wolfpack.

I had plans for Sammy, the wolfpack and myself in our new life in Florida. Unfortunately, life had other plans for him. The wolfpack and I march on in the name of Sammy, Patrick and BabyLady.

Take the rides now. There is No Tomorrow
