"Bye Bob, my friend, you haven't left me yet - but you will.
Too soon you'll be going on the final journey without me.
I know the tears are for me because I will niss you so much.
No more night time cuddles, no more pats on the arm
to encourage more stroking of your head and back.
No more watching your funny attempts to catch imaginary creatures
only you could see.
No more so many things.
Though we never spoke the same language we understood each other.
Amazing really.
You made friends with the neighbours.
You were (are) such a character.
You are the best.
So 'bye Bob,
it has been so special to have known you.
Love you
"Written by my mother Jacqui"
