Sweet Jacob:
Perhaps, in living into the early hours of a new year, you were gently telling me it is time to move on to a new chapter of my life. And I am, of course, so grateful for the years I was privileged to live with you.
Your brave spirit helped me to be braver and to live better. You were a true spiritual guide. And so I know your gentle soul is at peace with God’s spirit. For there is no way God would forget you. Just as there is no way we Will forget you. A part of my heart will always be empty now. Just as when Erich died. But I hope you two have found each other. And that I will find both of you again someday.
In the meantime, you live on in my heart and in my dreams-where I have seen you twice since you died. I am so sorry I wasn’t with you when you died. I would have never left you alone had I known. But we thought we’d see you the next day. A reminder of how fragile and precious life is. As you were. Blessings of love, honor, and gratitude to you-the best cat I could have every hoped for.
With much love and gratitude,
| Jacob |
