Another friend departs

Brethren, Peace be with you.

Last week our family said good bye to another of our faithful pet-friends, Big Lily Two-Socks.

We rescued her three years ago and she adopted us more than us her. We were inseparable. She slept by my side of the bed and always asked for a belly rub.

Big Lily developed a large tumor around her spleen. Since she was 11 there was no guarantee for her survival or for improvement of her quality of life. Therefore, we let her go and we're left behind feeling her absence deeply.

Thank you, Father, for the friendship your creatures give us. They too reflect your perfections. Thank you, Father, for Big Lily, and all the blessings you gave us through her. Grant, we ask, that we may see her again. Amen.
