I wanted you to be here so you would be remembered with Chrissie-cat who died earlier this morning. You came into our live unexpectedly. When Betty called me and said some friend had found a kitten whose mother had been killed there was no question but to take you in. You were half starved. We fed you and removed about 5 fleas. You had many bald spots from scratching. Soon though you were sleek and plump and so playful. Never a lap cat you loved to sit just next to your people.
Amy was born a few months later. You and she instantly bonded. She became your person. As you both grew up you shared much love and laughter together. You were her constant companion. Chrissie-cat came into our home when you were just 2 years old. You both quickly became friends – romping and playing; curling up together; and providing our family with warmth and love. It has been five years since you died. We still think of you and talk about you. Now Chrissie has gone to you.
I miss her so much. I saw you both together just after she died. I’m glad she had you there waiting for her – now I know she
won’t be lonely waiting for me.
