All that we love deeply becomes a part of us
Through the years of my life, I’ve never had that special bond with any of my pets…that was until Chase came into my life. For nearly seven years he was there giving me all his love and loyalty, no one will ever compare. So tragically taken from me, the sight of you hurting still burned in my memory.
Chase I’m so sorry I wasn’t there with you when you passed. How alone and afraid you must have felt in a place unknown to you. I know the vets did all they could, but for me it will never be understood; why you were taken in such a tragic way and why god wouldn’t let you stay. I hope you have found peace and that your pain is gone. I bet Fuzzy and Charlie were happy to see you, and in some way it comforts me knowing they are there for you.
I wrote a poem for you. Though you can’t read, just know how much you meant to me.
how you cuddled up into place
Under the covers next to my face
those sweet sand paper kisses
your mommy sorely misses
I walk the lonely silent halls
once filled with your Siamese yowls
your eyes so blue and bright
oh how much I miss you tonight
feathers, catnip and mittens
those are the toys that kept you smitten
I stare out the window at the silent night
and wonder which shiny star is your light
please remember me until I come
to that rainbow bridge under the sun
Chase, in time mommy will try to come to understand why you were chosen to live in gods land. It’s hard for me to think I’ll never see you again, but don’t be upset honey…in time I will try to understand.
I will always and forever love you,
