June 23, 2000
This has been a sad week for me. My cat P.J. is gone. For those of you who understand, I feel as if I've lost a very good friend. She's been my companion for 12 years. I didn't celebrate the solstice this month and haven't done much because I've just been too sad to concentrate. P.J. and I have been together a long time and I feel as if I've lost a very old and dear friend. The really hard part is that she chose to walk away instead of spending her last moments with me. She just disappeared 12 days ago and the not knowing is very hard.... she was pretty old for a country cat and I'm assuming she's passed.
I whisper on the wind,
Goodbye, P.J. my friend.
May your spirit sour,
You shall be missed evermore.
12 years you stood at my side,
My silent friend in whom I could confide.
Miss you though I might,
I know that your soul will enter the light.
So I say goodbye to you dear friend,
In time I know that my heart will mend.
