In Memoriam
They came to us on quiet paws, With trusting eyes and hearts so true, And over years of joy and grace, They shared their lives, and we shared too.
For Andrew
February 3, 2007 – November 8, 2023Of all the hearts that walked beside me, Yours left the deepest mark of all. Not because you asked for more, But because your love was constant. You were there in ordinary moments, The quiet days that became my life. A purr beside me, a familiar face, A friendship so natural I thought it would last forever. The years have passed since your goodbye, Yet time has not dimmed what you meant to me. There are still moments when I think of you, And for a heartbeat, you feel close enough to touch. Some say grief fades with the passing years. Perhaps it softens. But love like yours does not disappear, And neither does the space it fills. So when I miss you, I remind myself That sorrow is only love with nowhere to go. And I carry that love for you still, As faithfully as you carried yours for me. You were not just a cat. You were my Drew bears and my best friend. And you always will be. 🐾❤️
