To: Our lovely cat Boo

When your pet dies, part of you goes together with them…I wonder, if part of them stays with us – not haunting us, but protecting us, loving us and been as devoted as they were when they were while still alive. They settle in our hearts and in our memories, coming to cheer us when we are in a bad mood, and warm us up on the cold winter nights. Sometimes, for some narrow-minded people, pets become more or less part of the décor. But for us –for human beings with hearts- no, that is not true. Pets are our faithful companions; great friends that share our deepest secrets; always forgiving and always happy to see us – unconditional love. Do we treat them the same? I think we do…Loving them, appreciating that they become dependant on our care, our love, our friendship and loyalty. The commitment that we make when we take our little friends in, is not necessarily understood at the time; but as we grow together into one – we become one, and after death – we are still one – part of us guards peace for their souls, and part of them – in our hearts making our lives worth living!
