I still miss my beautiful friend.

I passed by your former home and still miss you dearly. I always think of you and remember the shock of losing you my friend. I went to your house for the hair appointment we made, just to be told you were no longer with us. I sat in my truck and cried, got off and asked the man if he was sure it was you who passed. It’s been 8 years but I still think of you as if it was just yesterday that I saw you and spoke to you. I love you my friend. I will see you soon.

Kitty, I am sorry to see you leave us and I hope to someday be your hairdresser in heaven as I was on earth. I enjoyed seeing you every time I came to your house to cut your hair. You always inspired me with your stories from the past and you always made me laugh. I love you dear friend, I will always love you...your dogs will be so heartbroken.
