Dear Bessie,
You were my special little kitty for so many years. We moved from Maine to Connecticut to Colorado to Massachusetts and back to Maine again, and you never asked for anything more but a lap to cuddle on and a scratch on your favorite spot on top of your head. I miss you every day, and I can still hear you purr on my lap or announce your presence when you come in the room. You had such a sunny little personality, one I have never encountered before in a cat and never will again.
I laid you to rest in a corner of the yard under the shelter of a pine tree, so you can wait for the time we will meet again. Until then, I hope you are happy to be free of your old, ill body. I was so lucky to have you for my own.
You were my special friend.
Love,
| Bessie |
