Dec. 29, 2000 Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead. Put crepe bows round the white necks of public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West. My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good. At 1:30 pm Christmas Eve, I lost Jack to kidney and liver failure. This poem, written by W. H. Auden best describes how I've been feeling ever since. I've tried to come in here all month, but with Jack getting sicker and sicker, I just never got the time. Since his death, it's been hard for me to even get out of bed in the morning, much less write about what he meant to me. Jack was everything to me, he was my best friend, the little boy I could never have, the only one who has ever loved me so completely and unconditionally. He was far more than just a dog, to me. It seems like the best part of my life is over now. Everything seems darker, quieter, bigger, and lonelier than ever before. What will I do without you, My precious furry friend? Part mischief, but all blessing, And loyal to the end! You looked at me with eyes of love, You never held a grudge, You thought I was far too wonderful To criticize or judge. It seems your greatest joy in life, Was being close to me, I think God knew how comforting Your warm soft fur would be. I know you thought you were human, But I'm glad it wasn't true, The world would be a nicer place If folks were more like you! Good bye Jack....Mommy loves you.
