My beloved Peace (Peacey-boy) came into my life on my 17th birthday in May of 1990. He was the runt but a long legged skinny runt. I fell in love with him the minute I saw him. I begged for him and was lucky enough to be able to bring him home.
He was a funny looking thing when he was little but SO sweet. He loved to lay on you and sleep. But his favorite sleeping position was on his back with all four legs stretched out as far as they could go his head would be stretched out with his forehead flat on the floor. He would crawl in my bed every night and find his perfect spot right on top of my head. If I sat on the couch he would get behind me and have half of his body on my head with his front paws dangling over. I was blessed with spending 11 years with my wonderful kitty-boy.
He traveled with me cross country and back again and again. He never complained just went with the flow. Peace at his biggest was 19 lbs. he has long tan and white hair. Big green eyes with freckles on his nose. He was the cleanest cat I ever saw. He never missed a spot. He loved to crawl into the tub and sit with you that is the only place he would drink from a bowl wasn’t good enough for Peacey.
The day I found out he was sick I begged and prayed to God to make him better. For the vet to be wrong. I tried and tried to get him to eat or drink. I watched over him for hours. I would brush him love on him and talk to him and yes cry over him for hours.
I would have nightmares at night that he was gone and I didn’t get to say good-bye to him or tell him I loved him. But three days after my 28th birthday I knew I had to let him go he was miserable and starting to hurt. I didn’t want to see him go thru that. It wasn’t fair to him. So I loved him enough to leave my children with my father and take my Peace for one last drive.
It was the most horrible thing I ever had or probably will have to do in my life. When the vet said I could see him now that he was gone I walked in the room and seen my peaceful little boy sleeping forever. I had Peace cremated so he will forever be with me at least in my mind.
But I know one day
I will see
my beautiful energetic
kitty again
waiting for me at
the Rainbow Bridge.
