My Tribute To You BOB...RIP

Oh BOB, I've been mourning you so. Ours is the longest relationship I've ever had and I miss having you around. You were so important to me.

Our late night rendevous meant so much. You kept me at home and safe in your company. You never complained when I didn't want or need you for a long time. Nor did you complain when I needed you all the time.

You had a few falls but you always weathered them nicely. You were like a chameleon. Your brown and black tiger stripes blended in nicely with my nightstand. I can't believe that when you and I first met, I wanted nothing to do with you. Life without you is so much less.

How will I ever replace you? I feel so much guilt, BOB, that you are gone and that I want another so quickly, but you made my life bearable during the in between times...and there have been many.

Oh the things I loved about you. You never left the toilet seat up. You never hung around longer than I wanted you to. You were always there for me...so strong and so true. There was never a time that you disappeared for days at a time. I always knew where you were. You never cheated or saw another, I was your only one. You never complained about my bedroom when it was messy, you loved me and accepted me for who I am..always. God bless you for not having socks to leave on the floor or for leaving a wet spot on my side of the bed. Oh how I loved you.

However, I'm just not sure how to dispose of your body. Your heart died but the rest of you is still good. I certainly can't throw you in the trash...that would be a bio-hazard. Perhaps a proper burial is in order for you. I will never forget you dearest BOB and I'm sorry I have to find a replacement for you so soon. You will always be my first and the one I loved the most.

RIP BOB.
