Katie

Suddenly, by chance i saw your face; my eyes could not leave your stare. I stood closer to look at your picture, the notice board busy with so many pictures, writings, pieces of paper with numbers written on them, some stuck out like fingers trying to grab anyone who stood near." Please take one" written in large bold writing. But somehow among all the busyness of that notice board, I saw you. Deep brown eyes drew me closer, a gentle face that seemed to hold wisdom beyond your years. I knew i had to at least meet you, at least give you time to get to know me, to see if in some even small way we could enrich each others lifes.
What was to follow, i could not have anticipated, could not dared to have hoped for and could only be grateful for with each day that we shared.
Gentleness like I have never seen in another living being. Gentleness that I had only ever read about, associated with Angels, creatures in fairy tales, in worlds I escaped to in books or in the dark of a cinema where i would go to lose reality for a couple of hours and feed my creativity. You held this gentleness within you every day that you lived. Effortless, as natural to you as breathing. Intelligent, bright and fun, all words that describe who you were.
You did not need words, make promises, complain or want anything only my love in return. Like my shadow each day you were there. You won not only my heart, but the hearts of all who you came in touch with.
The same way you entered my life, exactly a year to the day, suddenly and by chance, you were gone, It felt like i had been hit by that car Katie, I too felt my breath become weak, my heart want to give up and my hope for living fade.
Holding you in my arms on what was to be our last journey together I wanted so much to save you. Or maybe my selfishness wanted to save the joy, love and happiness you had brought into mine and my family s life. Now we had been thrown into this horrible reality and childishly I just wanted to escape with you one more time to our quite fairy tale walks in the woods. To see you run on the beach and feel the contagious happiness and sense of fun that seemed to leak from every pore you had.
One hour later I looked into your beautiful brown eyes for one last time, I kissed you goodbye Katie.
The only way I can see you now is in my dreams when i walk with you by my side, you wag your tail and I bend to place my hands each side of your face, I smile and tell you without any words that the unconditional love you give is returned.
