Seems Like Only Yesterday



Suzy was my life, and I, hers.
Inseparable for nearly 14 years
Seems like only yesterday
We strolled the streets,
Cuddled on the couch,
Shared everything possible--and then some.

Traveled the world and felt safe.
Never lonely,
Such good company,
Always present,
Happy.
Healthy,
Sane.

'Twas less than a year ago,
Her clock was running out,
And every tick that passed
Took life from me, too.
Yet, time knows no bounds
On love everlasting.

A Year Ago Today

Suzy looked great even though she was dying and had less than a month to live.  I tried, in vain, taking her to an accupuncturist, a masseuse, various vets, and administering lots of other home remedies.  It was her time to go.  Not mine, I mean I was definitely not ready to let her go.  Not ready to say goodbye to my dearest companion, my closest friend.  The freshest face, loyalist pal and kindest heart I have ever known.   My darling.  My Suzy.
