My best boy, Shadow,
Daddy and I went and brought you home yesterday. Your ashes are in a little pretty flowered tin that Pet Cremations put them in. We have you sitting on the mantle
above the fireplace.
Oh, My Shadow, how I miss you so. I still can’t believe you’re gone. I gave your brother Rusty a brushing today and it broke my heart because you loved to be brushed too.
Last night when Daddy and me let the other “guys” out, Bear went from room to room looking for you. You were Bear’s favorite. Remember how he would cuddle up with you on the couch? And Chibi has been looking for you too. He keeps going by the end of the couch just crouching there waiting for you to come out. I had to give Chibi some extra hugs today to comfort him and tell him you’re gone. Oh My Shadow my heart is broken. I grieve for you so,
my cry baby cat.
Mommy has to go back to work tomorrow but it is not something she might be able to do just yet because the tears will not end.
When I look at pictures of you and the little tin that your ashes are in and the fur that I cut off of you, it makes my heart ache. Even when I go in the spare bathroom it makes me cry because you liked laying next to the tub.
I keep praying to God to help me get through this grief, this tremendous grief I feel over you going home.
I will love you forever, my special little boy, and not a day will go by that I do not think of you.
Love always and forever,
| Shadow |
