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.
