April 17th, 2002 you walked into our lives. We found you outside, or maybe you found us, and came running up to us. You were hungry, thirsty, frail. How anyone could dump you we will never understand.
You have been with us since we started our lives together. You are our child, our son, our baby boy. It broke our hearts to help you cross into Heaven, but the time had come. Even then, at the very end, you purred for us, trying to comfort us.
You have given us so many smiles and laughs in the 2 years and 1 month that you were with us. You always attacked the teddy bear, you dragged it through the house with you, and sometimes you would fall on your side or back because teddy was trying to win, but you always won.
You loved to play hide and seek with Mommy, we would sprint through the house, hiding on one side of whatever piece of furniture was around, then jumping out at each other, and then the game would repeat. You loved Daddy’s special loving, how he would hold you in the black chair like a baby, and you would purr and rub your paws along his cheek. If he tried to talk while doing this, you would put your paw over his lips to quiet him. He loved those moments with you just as much as you did. You always greeted us at the door when we came home, you always greeted everyone at the door who came to visit.
You always were the household security, checking out everything, and keeping an eye on the neighborhood. You always knocked over the little trash cans in rooms to rustle through the papers. We were always safe with you around. Your kisses melted our hearts. You had such a scrunched in nose that to kiss us you would get so very close your whiskers would tickle our cheeks. You gave us so many kisses, and we always smiled such big smiles whenever we would get one. You loved to lay on the blanket curled up with us in front of the fireplace, watching the flames. You loved to sit outside on the back patio with us. You never left the concrete, you were happy just rolling on the concrete in the sunshine. You always wanted to be near us, whatever room we were in was the room you would be in. You were so very beautiful, you had golden fur that shone in the sunlight, lovely golden eyes, and the little pink tongue that you would poke out at us.
Your soul was the purest, sweetest, most innocent we have ever been blessed enough to be near. You always loved talking to Mommy, we would meow back and forth at each other for long periods of time. It drove Daddy nuts, because if he tried to talk with you, you looked at him like he was crazy. Only Daddy could scratch your back right, you would always start licking and purring for him. You were such a great alarm clock for us, we were not allowed to hit the snooze button more than once. You would walk all over our heads, meow, and paw at us to get up. You always loved for Mommy to scratch your nose, you would squint your eyes and purr. Daddy never could scratch your nose right.
We are so very thankful that you were feeling good right up until your last few hours on this Earth, when the stroke and blood clot took hold. You gave us both extra love on your last day, we think you heard God calling you Home. We helped you to pass without pain, staying with you until the very end, and you purred for us as you left this world. Even then, you were trying to comfort us.
Our sweet, precious Furball…we love you so very much. We miss you. We will love you forever and ever. We know you are in Heaven now, and we know that we will see you again when it is our time to leave this Earth. Until then, Furry, Mommy and Daddy love you.
We Love You,
