Oh, my Deucey! I never imagined my heart would break this much. I find comfort at your grave- you just left us 4 days ago, June 26th, 2007 and the pain is still so hard at times..I leave the house to get away, when once I wanted to be home all the time ….. you reminded me so much of myself…you were so cowardly at times, but not afraid to get what you wanted, very stubborn at times, very much a one-on-one type cat….you weren’t afraid to speak your mind, you loved the outdoors, you loved showing off(your little critters were always at the door), you wanted all the attention, if I was petting Lenny or Lula, you would let me know who was King…you just were so different, it’s why I fell for you so hard… you were MY cat, only going to daddy to eat off his plate… only went to Cole if he were asleep and you wanted a warm place to lay if daddy wouldn’t let you stay in our bed…

I will never forget all the times we played hide and seek….I remember one day I was so sick with the stomach flu and you stayed at my feet warming them…you weren’t too big on lots of hugs and rubs, but you did show your affection to me when I needed it…when I first brought you to the new house, you hid in the tree for 1 day, then finally you realized what a blessing this new house and huge wooded backyard was! You loved your new home and especially the back woods…. you stayed out more than in, but always came in to my yelling for you at nighttime, and even in the day when I wanted to see you, you would come in for a couple of hours…. in and out all the time- daddy would yell at me not to worry about you, but I couldn’t sleep unless you were in. I was so excited last month to get my new weekend job- not only would I be home more for the kids, but you cats too! You loved that white fluffy blanket mommy kept on the chaise lounge, I will keep that blanket forever.

I find your little white hairs and I kiss them. You got sick so fast- I bless Lenny everyday for leading us to where you were hiding, so we could rush you to the vets to feel better- never did I imagine at 6 yrs. old you had kidney failure- you never acted sick-but I realize now that you were drinking a lot… now that you are gone, the water bowl stays full- I thought that Bo was sneaking your all’s water at night-

I am so sorry you lost your young life- but God needed you- and now you have all the milk and water that Heaven can give you- make sure you tell God your favorite food is Feline Friskies (the purple bag with the little white milk puffs). I miss you soooo much little guy- I still yell your name for comfort- your grave is beautiful.
Lula and Lenny love you too!
Wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge-

 

I love you,
