It’s been one month today since I had to say goodbye and I sit and remember that day that I had to take you to the vet
for the last time to let you go.

I remember when I was at work at the vet & the people next door called to say they had a kitten that had ridden in a car for 45 minutes on the motor and needed a home so I went to get you. When I saw you I knew that you were mine. You looked like Trixie Lou that I had lost 2 years before. I brought you home told Chris that I just wanted to keep you over night. He took one look at you and named you Lou Lou, then I knew you were staying! After a month you started to get sick & we ran losts of test & treated you for several different things. Like a trooper, you took every medicine we tried. “Lou Lou medicine” was all I had to say.

Even though we have 11 other cats, you were the special one, mamas little babydoll. You were small for your size & I knew that something was really wrong. I did lots of research on the internet & then one day while at work a saw a cat fancy magazine that talked about porto-systemic liver shunts & after reading this I knew! By this time it was too late, there was too much damage done to your little young heart. If only the doctors had caught this sooner then
you would still be here.

You’re the wallpaper on my computer so I can look at you everyday & your ashes are beside my bed so that I can have you by my side every night. My heart aches every second of everyday.
I would do anything to have you here!

Remember that day that I took you outside on the leash? That was the happiest that I had seen you in such a long time. Now I know that you’re running in the grass & smelling everything in heaven. God why did you take her from me? Please take care of her
until I can hold her in my arms again!!!!
