Today I've been pondering the loss of a dear friend. We'd been friends for the last sixteen years. That's longer than I spent with either of my husbands.
I was there by her side as she passed on. In those last few moments I kissed her forehead and told her how much I loved her. Even though I knew it was coming, I still wasn't prepared for the loss or the completely & totally empty feeling I would have.
She had been ill for awhile. Medication had kept her feeling fairly good, but it just wasn't enough to continue to keep her here. Each day that she got weaker and lost more weight I knew that it was just a matter of time. Her Dr. continued to treat her with every aid that science could provide. Yet with very little success.
Please let her go peacefully; please don't let her suffer.
I shall miss her forever. No beating heart can replace her. No love will ever be the same.
Rest well TaiChi Kitty; rest well.
