by Renee Hartman / Your grieving human mother

Darling Bogus,

My heart is breaking right now and I’m
crying my eyes out as I type this. Thom
came over this morning, and as soon as
he walked in the door, I took one look
at his face, and the tears running down
it, and knew instantly that Cloud had
been found, and that he had joined you
at the Bridge. He had been hit by a car
at full speed, and was too badly injured
to make his way hack home. How
awful that must have been!

It’s so unfair that he died alone, when
you left this world and crossed over
to the Rainbow Bridge at home, on
my bed, in my arms. Please take very
special care of him. No other cat
could have ever filled the giant paw
prints that you left. He was truly
your equal in every way.

Fire is not openly crying, but he is
grieving very deeply. Babygirl is
extremely upset. She is crying openly
and hiding from everyone. Claw is
very skittish and depressed since he
found him first. All the kitties knew
and were gathered around Thom on
his bed last night, trying to soften
the terrible blow that was to come
in their own way. I don’t know how
hard Seven is going to take it, but I
do know that she loved Cloud with
every last breath in her body.

We buried him this morning, after
the other kitties had a chance to
say goodbye to him. Fire sniffed
his body the longest. They were so
close. I hope you don’t mind that
I took the silk rose flowers from
your handmade memorial and placed
them on Cloud’s grave. He was so
worthy of such a tribute.

Thom and I will light candles tonight
and take part in the Monday Candle
Light Ceremony viaYahoo Messanger.
You know, of course, that you will be
remembered. Always.

 

I love you I love you I love you....
