Ceci by H. Preston Showman / Preston

Ceci my precious kittie, I still expect to turn around and see your bright blue eyes looking at me from the foot of the bed as I type on the computer. I look for you to come meowing down the steps in happiness when I come home or hear you carrying your “baby” to me in the night. I wait for you to appear in the kitchen for your special treat of canned food. But I know those times are now gone…
as is a large part of my heart.

You were my baby for 16 years and 2 days and taught me more about life, unconditional love and psychology than I thought possible. It hurt me so much to see you lose weight over the last year and watch your normal pride and interest in life slowly drain from you.

I realize now you probably were in pain and I wasn’t immediately aware. “That” hurts me to the depth of my soul. I hope God was giving you peace in the suffering even when the love I gave couldn’t change what was happening. I don’t know how I am going to go on but I need to give your sister and the new kittens even more love now. You were and are my beautiful, gentle, empathetic Ceci and
will never be forgotten.

 

I love you Ceci forever!
Ceci
