the sooner I write this
the sooner it will sink in
the sooner it will sink in
that today
there are just
two of us in the house
this morning we had to call the vet to come
and now we are two
she lived with us for 17 years
almost as long as the boys
and she took their place when they both left
she kept me company when the husband was still working
and he adored her just as much as I
he is the one who found the strength this morning to call
and he is the one who oh so gently wrapped her in a big fluffy yellow towel
that he insisted I give him
even though he's had pain in his feet recently
he managed to make a place for her outside
and he bid her farewell
as he covered her up
it already feels so strange with out her
and it's going to take a long time to get over this
bye bye baby girl
we loved you so much
and we are so sad to have to let you go
it already feels so strange with out her
and it's going to take a long time to get over this
bye bye baby girl
we loved you so much
and we are so sad to have to let you go
I am so sorry for your loss. ((hug))
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the loss of your beloved girl. I have lost a few over the years. They will always hold a special place in your heart..
ReplyDeleteIt's always so sad to let them go.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn it is always so heartbreaking for me to loose a family pet, as to me they are a part of my family. I feel your pain. I am so sorry for your loss.

Sending warm thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteOh nooo...M! Ironically I was just thinking of her when I commented last. Because I was looking at her picture on the sidebar. I remembered telling you I was going to steal her. I am sorry M, I can only imagine the emptiness you are feeling with your little lady gone. Sending you love my friend!
ReplyDeleteOh no... I'm so sorry Marilyn! I once lost a cat we had had for 12 years, and it was so empty... And he wasn't even friendly! So sorry to hear this!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry M. Pets aren't just pets, they are family. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hard time you're having lately :(
ReplyDeleteCats are such good company :)).Thinking of you
I have not been around and I did not know this heartbreaking news!! You poor dears! 17 years....but you know what..she is around... in cat heaven and in your hearts..you may not see her, oh but she is totally with you..hugs and more hugs to you, Marilyn..
ReplyDeleteDear friend, somehow I missed this... and I can understand you perfectly, just as I write my dear 13 year old Pantera (all black, of course) is sitting on the couch arm, reading this too. Before that it was Smartie, and I cried like a baby when I had to let him go, 2 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThey are special... and though the hurt fades a bit, they always keep their special place in our hearts! I'm so sad for you, my dear...
