How to express this loss?

gunterkat · 07-26-2011, 01:26 AM

How does one mourn the passage of a special friend, someone so close as to share your very thoughts?

It has been the better part of a year since Ari disappeared. Time to admit she is not coming back to scratch on the door. Ever.

She was a sweet innocent, untainted by falsehood.
Her only guile was motivated by a feline instinct to play.
I will always love you, Ari! Not just for the duration of my life here on God's earth. I am certain that our bond is meant to continue.
Beloved furry soulmate, may you find joy in the fields beyond the Rainbow Bridge, where the mice are just challenging enough to be fun, there is always a fresh stream to drink from, and the summers are never too hot.

Cinderella has a new BFF. I'm so sorry, John, I know how much she meant to you.

I'm sorry too. She knew how much you loved her.

John, I am so sorry for your loss. The two of you were so special together here on earth and that bond will certainly extend into eternity.

That was a beautiful tribute, John. We're all going to miss her, but I know your heart is broken.
