Almost 4 Weeks, The Dance by Garth Brooks Options

[Susanv]

Tomorrow it will be 4 weeks since I lost my beautiful white cat in a hit and run accident. Two days after he died I wrote a letter to our local newspaper in which I poured my heart out. It was published the Friday. I hope the person who took my dear cat's life read it, but I will never know if he did. And if he didn't, hopefully it will prevent others from just driving away after hitting an animal.

I wanted the driver who killed my Poerie to know that he was not just a cat, that he was one of the things in this life that kept me going. And since the driver didn't bother to explain what happened, I have no choice but to blame him for my pain. I'm convinced he was speeding. I can only hope he had an important meeting and made lots of money because of it, then my cat would not have died for nothing.

At the end of my letter I added some of the lyrics of the song "The Dance" by Garth Brooks:

~
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared
Beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known
That you'd ever say goodbye

I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
~

I'm sure all of you will agree with this song.

I'm wishing all of you the strength you need to cope with the loss you suffered.

Love,
Susan

Poer-Woer, I will love you forever. Thanks for the dance!
