My Dear Mystic
Oh how much I love you.
Thank you for being my partner my friend my confidant and my home. Thank you for taking such good care of Thai- you were a wonderful big brother to her and she is struggling to understand your absence. Watching her look for you and hearing her cry for you is almost more than I can bear.
I will miss your sense of humor the way you ran down the stairs just so I would chase you and carry you back up; I will miss your goat-like appetite for anything wool or cotton and dare I say even plastic. Most of all I will miss spooning with you at night…filling up an otherwise empty bed with your warmth and affection.
Mystic you were a brave and strong being. Thank you for fighting the good fight — for putting up with the dr. visits the tests the meds the fluids the feedings and the discomfort you no doubt endured.
You were my home. And my child. And my partner. And I don’t yet know how to let you go…or how to stop the tears. But I pray that writing this tribute will help just as I pray that letting you go has brought you peace. Thank you for all your many gifts. Goodbye my friend…you will live forever in my heart.
I love you.
Cheryl
