FAITH
January 11, 2011 to October 1, 2012
There are few things harder in this world than saying goodbye to a beloved friend! Our little friend, Faith moved our hearts in so many ways–she was found abandoned on a mountaintop near death and we took her in, she had a neurological disorder and we loved her the more dearly for her disability, she became blind and we admired her strength and ability to move forward. She was the most special little girl, and we all held her closely to our hearts and rejoiced that she had come to live with her PFOA family. We thought that she would be with us (or maybe with a wonderful adoptive family) for many years to come.
Our precious Faith became ill and passed away on October 1, 2012. Faith had gone to live at Barker House so she could enjoy a more homelike environment with her good friend, diabetic kitty Marcus. She was adored by her foster mom there, and enjoyed the quiet days spent lounging in a sunny windowsill and exploring a whole new world.
We will miss this ethereal little soul–she was, unfortunately, too fragile to continue her life with us here on this earth. But the lessons of love and faith that she taught us will remain as her gift to us all.
