It happened so suddenly. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. I only knew him for 5 years, but the bond we shared was stronger than anything I've ever had with another pet. He was my best friend. Go pet your kitty for me.
I feel for you and I want to share a poem I found shortly after losing my best friend (my dog) all those years ago. I hope it can bring you some comfort, as it did for me.
Sending you lots of love and strength 🫂
I often stop a time or two
At where you used to be
And when I do
I think of you,
And all you meant to me.
I stop to see the empty space
I think of you and smile
You made the world a finer place
For just a little while.
But time was only passing by
Before you had to go
And though I understand the why,
I wish it wasn't so.
You're always more than just a pet
And that can never end.
A part of life I can't forget.
A piece of me.
My friend.
