Can we help to cheer up this new(ish) Steemian?

I have a soft spot for doggos and all people that share my love for the creatures. I also have a great deal of dread about the eventual day when my doggy friend will inevitably pass on to the great doggy beyond.

We all know that day is coming sometime, and I don't think any of us are prepared for the sadness that will follow.

I recently discovered @tomoyan while scrolling through the "New" section as i tend to do an hour or so per day. I saw that he / she had put together a very touching montage to their beloved pet, who had recently passed on just a few days ago.

The video was (in my mind) very well-made and of it made my eyes watery.

I think it should be relatively easy to understand, whether you have a pet or not, that @tomoyan is really going through a rough time right now and I think it would be nice if we could give back to the community a bit in the way of support during this dark time. I don't mean to sound patronizing, but I think that if i were in the same situation, I would appreciate any little nice thing that people, even strangers, could do for me.

I have lost 3 pets in my life, 2 of which were of old age, and it was a terribly rough time for me. We invest so much time and love into these creatures and for me, since I don't have any human children, my doge-pal is like a child to me. I certainly behave like an overprotective parent anytime I take her anywhere and i have been to the vet multiple times that were completely unnecessary visits just because her tummy hurt for a couple days in a row.

I would really appreciate it if everyone could get over there, upvote, and say a nice word or two. It's sad to see that previously this Steemian had been posting about the NBA, movies, and tourism locations in Japan (happy stuff) and abruptly, all of their posts are about sadness and grief. I know that one day I will be going through the same thing and I am very afraid of that day.

Let's see if we can be a little bit of sunlight in the darkness, if only for a little while.

I will be transferring all the rewards from this post over to @tomoyan
