…My Smokey Poo Bear…
I miss you so very much. You were with us since you were born. We did not think you were going to make it, because it took you so long to walk. You would not eat. I would put you on my lap and feed you. You were always so afraid of everyone, except us. In the beginning, you would hide under the sofa. You were so tiny and puny. You were so double jointed that you could squeeze yourself in anywhere.
…My Smokey Poo Bear…
You would follow me around everywhere I went. As, if you were watching me to make sure I was OK, and doing everything right. You would talk to me. …WAA, WAA… Tell me when you were hungry, when you wanted your hair combed, when you just wanted my love and attention. You would sleep near my feet. You were always purring, and it sounded like a little motor. I sure do miss all that. You were no longer tiny and puny.
…My Smokey Poo Bear…
Every day and night since you left us, I have been waiting for you to come back. I expect to see you everywhere, purring, and watching over me. Sometimes, I even think that I see you, standing there, just looking at me.
…My Smokey Poo Bear…
You did not like to be carried around. Just like a cat, everything was always on your terms. Towards the end, all that changed. You were even sitting on my lap for Rubbies.
…My Smokey Poo Bear…
Every morning, (4:30 a.m.) not a minute before or a minute after, you would …WAA, WAA…and Paw on Daddy’s door to let him know that it was time to eat. Daddy never needed an alarm, because he had you. Daddy took your loss very hard. He screamed at the unfairness of it all. But, it has not changed anything. You are gone, and it still hurts inside.
…My Smokey Poo Bear…
You were so sick that we had to let you go. I am so sorry. It should not have had to be like this. Sometimes, life is just not fair. Unfortunately you are gone because of it. I regret, not taking you to the vet sooner. I knew how very much afraid you were of the vet and everyone there. We never thought that your condition was that bad. That is no excuse.
I am so sorry.
…My Smokey Poo Bear…
The vet informed us that there was not much else to do, you would get worse. I made the decision to put you to sleep right then. It was hard for me to let you go. I wanted to be selfish, and keep you here with me forever. I know, the decision was right in my head, but my heart still aches.
I am so sorry.
…My Smokey Poo Bear…
I regret that I did not spend as much time loving you, as I should have. What hurts most, is that I did not send you off the way I should have. I should have brought you home, and loved you like you had never been loved before. I should have given you a day that was the best day of your life.
…My Smokey Poo Bear…
I do not know if cats feel love. I would have felt better, if I had shown you one last time, how much you were loved. I never realized, that loosing you would be so heart breaking. I wish, that we could have kept you with us for a very long time. I know, deep in my heart, you are in Heaven with your Mother Meow and your Brother Silly.
…My Smokey Poo Bear…
I miss you terribly, and think of you every day. I hope your 9 years with us were as enjoyable for you as they were for us. You are one of a kind, and there will never be another one like you, for me. I will never forget your motor like purring sounds and your…WAA, WAA…
…My Smokey Poo Bear…
We love you. We miss you a whole bunch. You will never be forgotten. Please know, that you were loved a whole bunch.
…Missing You Forever And Always…
With All Our Love,
