Make The Most Of What You Have!

After reading chapter 5, I realized that Salamano although was tuff with his dog and cursed him every single time, he loved him and he indeed misses his company. It is hard to think about it, but theres many realtionships were people simply don´t get along but they manage to stay together because they need each other and complement each others life. "We´d have a run-in every now and then. But he was a good dog just the same." (p.45) A month ago I lost a friend, who was really close to me when I was smaller. Together we talked about everything, he supported me, and he was always there for me. As time went on, we changed and things in our relationship got cold. We stopped talking as often as we did and I never realized how hard it would be to lose him. When I found out about the accident I couldn´t believe that it was true. I definetly regret not spending more time with him. If I could go back in time I would have changed many things, but now that nothing can be done It´s hard to confront reality. It is hard to understand why we need to have hard expiriences to realize and give thanks for what we´ve got. This is something that in the novel is happening to Saramago and I think that will happen to Merasault, when he actually realizes that his mom is gone.
