Dear Felicia,

 

Remember the days of playing Wonder Dog

Jumping off the pump in the playground

Crawling around on all fours and barking

Laughter filling the air.

Remember when you moved and we lost touch

You returned and it was like our friendship

Never even paused or was interrupted

By this crazy life.

Throughout almost half a century your presence

Has been a quiet bit of happiness.

Even when we have been far apart

At least in distance.

I know this last year has been hard for you

Always know that even if I am not there

You are always in my heart

A forever friendship.

 

Your forever friend,

Deanna
