Is it five years a few?
How can we measure time when it comes to loss, memories and nostalgia?
It was only a pet,
some might say.
But this amazing creature meant much more to me.
He barged into my life like a furry hurricane and nothing was the same any more.
He was my friend, my companion, my joy, my comfort.
He gave me plenty of reasons to be happy,
a lot of excuses to be outraged
and most of all, countless lessons about life itself.
He stood by my side for more than 16 years,
in good days and in bad ones,
in our daily routine and in wild travels
and he never doubted our unbreakable bond.
Now he is memories and pictures,
a framed photo on the wall,
a tree growing on his grave.
And a few words that I wrote in his memory.
Because he is gone
but not forgotten.
