Santa Barbara Paws by Andrea / Andie

*Paws*

You were such a wonderful cat. I don’t know how I would have survived most of my teenage years without you. We’ve been through friends, boyfriends, and deaths. We’ve even runaway together. The best years of my life we’re when I was 5-17. You’ve been gone for 5 months now and I still feel lost.

There’s something missing in my home
I feel it day and night
I know it will take time and strength
Before things feel quite right

But just for now I need to mourn
My heart-it needs to mend
Though some may say, “it’s just a pet”
I know I’ve lost a friend

You brought such laughter to my home
And richness to my days
A constant friend through joy and loss
With gentle loving ways

Companion, pal and confidante
A friend I won’t forget
You’ll live for always inside my heart
My sweet forever pet

HERES TO YOU, MY FOREVER PET! I LOVE YOU!

 

Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge,
