My little darling passed away tonight.
My little Ana.
Feline Aids took her away. Her beautiful black fur turned shabby while her once magnificent pumpkin colored eyes grew dim as the dreadful desease overpowered her helpless, skeletal little body. Right to the end, she remained alert and responsive to my voice and touch. I just couldn’t have her put to sleep. In stead, I chose to care for her, with her vet’s instructions, until she was ready to leave me. Tonight, after rushing home from work to be with her once again, I called out her name as I came through the front door. Stretched across her little bed, she remained motionless. My heart froze as I knelt down and picked up her sweet lifeless body that still contained warmth. With her tucked in my arms I burst into tears. My little friend of 10 years is gone now and my heart is shattered.
My sweet Ana, I will always love her.
In honor of her memory,
| Ana |
