To my friend Bill

Post by FlowerChild »

Bill was one of my closest friends through many of the worst years of my life. He's also a cat.

I received word tonight that he's likely not to be alive much longer, and I may be absent and/or fucked up for the next while as a result.

Anyways man, if any of you feel like pouring one on the curb for my fallen homey tonight, I'd be much obliged.

This is Bill:

Consider an entire bottle of cream poured - not just a saucer.

I will gladly do Bill the honor of pouring some on the curb as soon as I get home for you, man. One of my first posts on this forum related to the passing of my dog, and I extend my condolences FC, just as you did for me back then.

It's always hard losing a pet that has been with you for a long time. Many condolences to you, and may Bill pass with little pain to him.

He's absolutely beautiful, I wish Bill the most easy passing; also take all the time you need, I'm sure all of us with furry family members current and past understand.

I feel for you, man, I really do. It's amazing how much support a pet can give, but I know first hand how much they do. Take as much time/fuckedupness as you need, FC.

You people do not get it.. He is not a pet.. He is a dear friend.. A comrade.

I feel for you man. I've been in this situation. It cuts deep. Hang in there.

I have been were you're at so I know nothing I can say will make you feel better but my heart is with you and Bill.
Is it better to have posted and failed or to have never posted at all?

I know how bad it is to lose someone you care about, take all the time you need man, and consider another one poured.

It is difficult to find the words for things like this. This community you have built will have your back. Anything else I try to write is coming out wrong so I will let it stand at that.

I feel terrible, I know what it is like. I've had to bury two of my own cats over the years. One I discovered in the road out in front of my house while coming home from school. The experience changes you.

I had to drink one before I poured one, man.

FC, I'm so sorry to hear that man.

I can't imagine not having either or my dogs around. It's just to heartbreaking. I've only had them for two and a half years, and they have done so much for me in such short amount of time.

So, here's one for Bill.

And I'll be thinkin' about ya.

Consider one poured from me, too!

For me it was a dog that I lost a few years ago, but a friend is a friend, no matter what species he belongs to.

Very sorry to hear this, FC. You were the best thing to ever happen to Bill and I'm sure he'll appreciate you until the end. In lieu of pouring one out on the curb, having neither, my cat is going to get a big hug.
