It will be one year on the 26th June 2010 since I lost her. I got her when she was homeless, and it was love at first site. The two of us had a very good relationship. She looked after me when I was sick, and when I lost my job she was my best friend. She had the most wonderful eyes this deep brown and yellow eyes. She ran very fast and she was a very good mouse catcher. The day that she died was the saddest day of my whole life i had a hole in my soul, and I cried for months thereafter. And I do not cry easily but her death struck me deep in my heart, there where nothing touch me ever in my life. In the moment when she was daying she looked at me with that beautyfull eyes for the last time asking me please help me my friend but I cannot. That eyes turned black and a few minutes later it was all over. I want to say thank you Soene for changing my life the way you did!! I will always love you and I know the day that I die I will see you again my dear. Untill then you will stay in my mind for ever and ever. On 26 June at 17:00 yearly I will think of you till I die.
