TRIBUTE TO ELLIOT : 05 June 2008 – 20 Feb 2011
My dearest beloved Little Elliot,
Words just cannot express how much pain and sadness I feel losing you. It was the most devastating and painful time for me the day you died. No one can ever understand the bond we had , how much you mean to me and how u touched my life and the lives of my family members in the short life you lived.
I took pity on your mother, a stray, who comes to our house and fed her but she wouldn’t trust us to stroke her. Even so, she was pregnant with 4 kittens and trusted us enough to leave the kittens with us. Your 2 brothers, Eddie and Blackie, your sister Emma and you Elliot have brought us love and joy indescribable from the time you were born. You were the biggest in size, the most beautiful, cute and adorable kitten I’ve ever seen. You melted our hearts from the time you were a palm-sized furball with golden patches. It was a joy to see you grow, to feed you, to play with you, to clean you and to love you along with your siblings. But you stand out among the rest with your quiet, warm, playful, lovable nature. I love cuddling, holding and carrying you going for walks in the garden. We used to have so much fun playing and chasing after ping pong balls till you were so exhausted heaving and puffing and sticking your tongue out! You love enjoying your favourite cat treats with milk and butter flavor. You used to bite lightly and playfully at my fingers when I carried you and when I put you down you would bite my toes and you looked so cute and comical, which never failed to make me laugh. I remember when we had you neutered and had an Elizabethan collar worn around your neck to prevent you from injuring your wound, you kept reversing and moving backwards thinking it was a tunnel you wanted to back out of! You always amused us with your funny innocent antiques!
You are God’s little angel sent to us. In your short two and a half years, you taught us so many things, gave us unconditional love and brought sunshine to our lives. But God took you back too soon and it broke our hearts to pieces! My dear Elliot, if tears could build a stairway to Heaven, I’d climb right up and bring you back again! There’s only an emptiness now that you’re gone that can never be replaced. Life will never be the same again. I miss you sooooo very much! The only consolation for us is knowing that you are with God at Rainbow Bridge as you join your brother Blackie and Rambo and Eva 1. You have left us but you will never ever be forgotten,,,you will…forever…and ever…remain…in our heart, mind and soul…
Rest in Peace my beautiful furbaby …till we all meet again…
We live within a fragile circle easily and often breached
We who choose to surround ourselves
With lives even more temporary than our own
Unable to accept its awful gaps
We still would live no other way
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality
Never fully understanding the necessary plan

I ASKED GOD FOR A FLOWER
AND HE GAVE ME A GARDEN
I ASKED GOD FOR A TREE
AND HE GAVE ME A FOREST
I ASKED GOD FOR A RIVER
AND HE GAVE ME AN OCEAN
I ASKED GOD FOR A FRIEND
AND HE GAVE ME YOU
“IN EVERLOVING MEMORY OF MY MI BOY – ELLIOT
I can’t believe you’re gone. Why did you have to leave me?
I will miss everything about you: your sweet personality.
I have nothing but pictures and memories and
that is not enough to fill the empty spot in my heart.
…I love you with all of my heart and
I’ll always remember the good times we had together.
I may cry and be sad, but for knowing you, I’ll always be glad.
I know you’ll be with me someday, in another time.
But right now you’re gone but you will always be here in my heart.
I will miss you!!!!!
I will see you again in heaven,
MY PRECIOUS DEAREST BELOVED ELLIOT……”
Love Eternally,
From your beloved Mummy & Family
