Farewell to a Friend

Tribute To A Best Friend
Author UnknownSunlight streams through window pane
unto a spot on the floor....
then I remember,
it's where you used to lie,
but now you are no more.Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
and muted echoes sound....
then I remember,
It's where your paws would joyously abound.A voice is heard along the road,
and up beyond the hill,
then I remember it can't be yours....
your golden voice is still.But I'll take that vacant spot of floor
and empty muted hall
and lay them with the absent voice
and unused dish along the wallI'll wrap these treasured memorials in a blanket of my love
and keep them for my best friend until we meet above.

that's tough,
I know...
I had to euthanize a favorite cat recently,
cancer took him slow... -
Sorry to hear about your cat, juju.
We had to euthanize Wanli's half brother two years ago. The one consolation in such a tragedy is knowing their suffering is ending.
We were fortunate with Wanli; he just laid down as if to sleep, and died. Very peaceful, I was told. Although we were expecting it (his age), the call still hit me like a hammer. -
condolences...
-
They break our hearts so thoroughly every time. I feel your sorrow.

We lost a special dog friend last year. Know how it is. My condolences Daniel.
-
Thanks for the kind words, everyone. It really helps.
-
Aw man, sorry for your loss. I too have a best friend that is only 5 years old, I cannot imagine losing him, we have only been separated 12 days in total all his life. Are you planning on adopting another?
-
That's a question I have been pondering all day, Pete.
The dogs were actually my parents', but they spent so much time with me it was as if they were mine too. When young, they spent an entire year with me while my parents were on the west coast, and I bonded with them then, especially Wanli. They asked me today if they were to get another, would I be willing to take care of it if they reached a point they cannot due to their age. -
You have my condolences. I think most of us here know the joy our family animals bring and the sorrow when they pass for whatever reason. we lost two of our five cats within six months and without Cambridge vet school hospital might have lost another, might still if she does not eat a bit more. Without seeming crass, words are pretty much empty but the thoughts that go with them I hope are not.
