IWONA PĄGOWSKA 7 feb. 1968 - 10 june 2015

"Żyje się dla kilku spotkań i paru wzruszeń. Ważne, by ich nie przegapić."

The day of 10th June is very tragic for whole feline world... World famous breeder and very beautiful person left us today - persian and exotic breeder - Iwona Pągowska, cattery Bagira*PL. Iwona lost her short but hard battle with cancer, but till the last moment she was just like she used to - carrying more on her family, friends and cats more than worry about herself...

Iwona Pagowska thank You for Everything!
You were my great Friend, my Mentor, my Soul Mate...
I cannot accept that You are not here with us anymore...
Rest In Peace my Dear...
We will meet and chat again, but in Better Place...
You were in my dream this whole night, smiled and peacefull, like You used to be...
And this is how I will remember You!

I cannot understand how could this all go so fast... You were so young, You had so many plans, so many things to do... instead You left big empty space... They say there are no irreplaceable people... You were... I don't know anybody like You, so full of'Nie ma drugiego takiego człowieka jak Ty. Full of warmth, kindness, sense of humor, caring for the family and friends more than yourself... So valuable breeder, full of vast knowledge and immense love for animals. I am furious at the fate that we were not given more time to spend it together. We always think we have plenty of time for our plans... Cruel fate showed how big mistake was to think that way... The only thing that cheers me in this tragic moment is knowledge that You do not suffer anymore, that you are now in Better Place, surrounded by all Your four-legged friends, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge during those 15 years of Your breeding journey... Biartitz, Lynn, Diabolo, Honey Bee, Kissi, Golden Gift... I believe You are smiling to us from above, sitting there with one of Your cats on Your laps, and believe You will surround tender care over Your beloved children and family, so lonely after You're gone...

Last weeks, Your battle for life, remind me all those moments that we spent together... Long hours of chatting, laughing, sharying knowledge, experience, plans, worries... I remember how excited You were, when after so many years of trying hard to get another Odd Eyed kitten after Your Heaven was born (first OE bicolour in Poland and one of tghe first in the world), you called me with words "You'd better sit before I'll tell You what happened! I have Odd Eyed girl!" She was Your sweet Odelka... This was trully Your huge passion in life...

All my breeding knowledge comes from You... I was newbie persian owner when I came to Your house to meet and to pick the kitten for me... And I still see the image of Zeta running the stairs like crazy, and I knew she is the one! It was 10 years ago! It was my great breeding journey began, but I cannot imagine my future in breeding without You to share my emothions with... The girl from Frodzio and Pchełka, You have waited will never live with You... I will not admire Your new litters and I will not wondering myself isn't the one perfect for my breeding? We will not support each other in bad times, or cry with joy in those good ones... Volleyball, handball od football matches won't be the same witout You on the messanger :( But the taste of Your roasted duck will last with me forever...

I even owe You who I am today in my proffesion. It was You, as one of my first clients, that gave me opportunity to develop my photographic skills in photographing cats. You saw the sparks in my work end encouragement me to follow this way. I hope You will still be proud of my work...

It's been a while since our last shooting... I believed we will meet in Your home in Podkowa many many times more... Believed You'll show me, with this sparks in Your eyes, some new kittens You are very proud of, that You will share plans, emotions nd Your children achievements... Children You were so proud of, You loved more than life... But it was not ment to be... You are gone and all I think now is how I regret we didn't spent more time together, that I did not take more pictures, but not cats itself, but You, us, sitting on the sofa and sourounded with all those furry creatures, chatting, eating all those delicious dinners or sweets... The part of You is still around me - You precious kittens that live or lived at Sepis*PL - Zeta, Frodo, Malaguena, Yeti, Wedding Gift - I am so thankfull for them! They made the story of Sepis*PL...

You are always in my heart my Dear Iwona! I trully believe You are touched by all those love You got from Your friends all over the world...

All my thought goes to Your beloved Children and Family, let them find peace in this hard time...
Rest In Peade my Dear Friend Iwona!
