Tiggy by Debbie and Mike Grant

Tiggy, its still hard for me to believe that you have been gone now for over 2 years. You were not only our cat but a member of our family. The kids miss you so much as do I. I keep thinking about how you use to love to eat Dad’s peanut butter cookies. You use to always stare me down and meow at me until I have you your own cookie. How I miss those days and you. You always seemed to know when I needed that extra TLC. Sometimes I can sense that you are in the house with me. I miss hearing you yell at me when we have shrimp or lobster at home. You were so cute and I couldn’t help but love you all the more. I hope you know that letting you go was the hardest choice I’ve ever had to make.

I couldn’t bear to lose you but I couldn’t bear to let you live in pain. When I held your face that Thursday afternoon when I was saying goodbye to you through my tears, I know in my heart that you knew I didn’t want to let you go. I know you were medicated our last meeting but when I said my final goodbye to you and held your face so close to mine and I whispered to you that “I Love You”, you looked at me and gave me a soft meow. It was like you were telling me it was okay to let you go. I may not physically have you anymore but you are still in my heart and you will always be and the memories that I have will always be with me
until we meet again.

All of our love for ever,
Debbie, Mike, Mike Jr. and Kaity.

 

With Love
