Punky Brewster by Susan

For 15 years you have been my constant companion. You were never my pet- but my best friend. We travelled the world together (although sometimes I had to smuggle you into countries!). We have always been so close; people marvel at the way I don’t even need to speak to you to communicate. My life has always revolved around you. Now I spin with no center. Although I knew this day would someday come I could never have been prepared by how clearly you told me it was time to let go. I thank God with all my heart that you felt no pain weren’t ill went with such peace and love. You merely laid your head on my hand as I repeated the words I’ve said to you so many thousands of times over the years and even though your hearing and sight were mostly gone I knew you heard every word as you slowly flew free. I can’t wait to see you again to go on the next Volksmarch.

I love you Punky.

Susan
