Friends are supposed to be forever, but for some it’s only temporary…

Tonight I lost my beloved little girl Molly, she had lymphoma... she was the sweetest cat you ever met and fearless...

I also lost someone who claimed to be my friend and was not there for me which saddens me...


Poem Artwork

Just this side of heaven
I hold her in my arms
So many came to touch us
So many near and far

Yet there is one that’s missing
They said they’re my best friend
Yet here I sit and tears fall
Not even on the mend

He left me to my sorrow
Absorbed within his own
How could he do this to me
And leave me all alone

Abandonment is painful
When I needed you the most
How could you do this to me
I thought we were so close

I’d never do this to you
Yet you did it unto me
I never left you lonely
For there I’d always be

But self-absorbed you are with
and only unto you
I thought you were so sensitive
I guess I never knew

Some lessons are as painful
When a friend you thought you had
But now I’m only wiser
Just feeling really sad…

She just crossed heavens threshold
While looking in my eyes
I held her close unto my heart
Now all I do is cry

Where was my friend and ally
He always claimed to be
I never left him lonely
Not like he did to me

I am so sorry for the loss of your Molly! Those connections are so strong and may your other friend return when they figure out whatever it is they need to figure out.

I can feel your pain through the loss of your beloved pet, Molly; and also the friend in need was not there for you. Very heartfelt poem. This reminds me of how it was when we lost our cat that grew up together with our children. We all cried. Freddy was 16 years old when he went to heaven, but we still cried and wished he could stay longer.

Take care. Your friend may have gone away on a trip or something and never knew about all that has happened. ((((( Hugs )))))

Obviously, she wasn't a "friend".

Love ya!

That's so sad, two losses in one. He appears to be a fair weather friend. I say, "be gone," to that. True friends are out there to be found.

There seems to be an epidemic of cancers in pets. It could be in the environment or it could be in the food and/or the chemicals we use to clean them, and prevent infestations like fleas. I wonder if wild animals, wild cats and dogs (wolves) have the same prevalence of cancers? In the wild, any weakened animal quickly dies. That keeps the gene pool strong. Our parents have been domesticated so long, they live longer and are probably more susceptible to diseases.

My heart goes out to you, Carol. Losing one of our animals is like losing a family member, because that is exactly what they are, a member of our families. I have lost many pets, the last one four years ago. Sorry you have to go through this.

The word friend is an honour title to wear with pride. A real friend doesn't ask, never judges and is there for you whenever you need them the most.
It's so sorry that you've lost your dearest companion and it breaks my heart to see your sadness and pain.
In our darkest moments we learn who our real friends are and who is worthy to wear this title.

A true friend you never have to ask...they know...and are always
there when you need them. It is bad enough that you lost Molly
but, to also lose a friend. Good will come of this...Always.

Always,

Oh! You would not believe how much your words reach into my soul with what they express since I am intimate with the theme you share. Love, peace, healing, and best wishes to you, Carol...

There are many kinds in this world and there are times when they make themselves known who and what they are to you. We are not responsible for who they are...we are only responsible for who we thought they were. No real friend would abandon you, Carolee, we must differentiate better those who are wolves in sheep's clothing.
Molly was special as she held a special place in your heart and she most likely knew it. Our creator gives that instinct to our beloved pets so they would know where home is and where they are most comfortable. Grieve not so much her loss for she was borrowed to make herself and you happy but celebrate the gift that she was to you for that memory is priceless and irreplaceable. I am sending healing prayers to you.

It is always hard losing a precious loving pet. I am sorry for your loss of both your close ties to you. Molly will never really be gone because she lives in your heart. I would comfort you with Big hugs if I could.
