After my dear friend Freya returned to Johannesburg we had one of our usual catchup Zoom meetings. I like to keep in touch with Freya this way when we can’t see one another in person.
Please switch your sound on to view the videos.
Shortly after this call, I hear from Freya’s paw parents. She has suddenly taken ill. I text Mitzi and Otto and we are all distraught. I know Freya is older than me, but she appears vigorous and in wonderful health.
Later that evening her paw parents contact me again. They sought a specialist opinion, but Freya relapsed and passed to the Rainbow Bridge.
I can hardly grasp this terrible news. When she left, I had hoped to see Freya again soon, as we had planned to fly over to Sydney for the famous New Year’s fireworks display. We went there nearly every year. It is hard to grasp that I will never see her again.
