Shoo-Fly

Shoo-Fly was a wild cottontail rabbit who lived in our backyard for exactly one year. Though Shoo was wild and remained that way throughout our friendship we experienced a bond unlike anything I have known before or since. This bond has not lessened since his passing to the Bridge on Mother's Day, 1999.

Out of love and wonder, I created the My Forever Friend Memorial Website to honor Shoo and the friendship he gave me. The site has now known thousands of readers and Shoo is known throughout the world!

One of the poems that make up the website is called "The Wish". I would like to share it in this memorial.

"One more time to be with you...one more time again...Is all I'd ever ask for...I'd never ask again. And if my time is coming...and I am at my end...If one wish would be granted...I'd be with you my friend."

He is always on my mind...forever in my heart. Shoo is my forever friend.
