Mommy

Today, one year ago, I lost my sweet little kitty boy. JJ, my sweetums, I think of you every day, I miss you and I still love you as much as ever. Life does go on even with a broken heart. They say time heals all pain, but I think, time just teaches us how to deal with the pain, the pain really never goes away. As I sit here crying, remembering this dreadful day last year, wondering what else I could have done to save you, I also remember all the great times we had. The afternoons outside when you sat by me in the green grass, how you smelled on the grass and flowers, how you chased the bugs and tried to chase the birds, how curious you were about the squirrels, how that backend of yours wiggled with front part of your body hunched down getting ready to jump and catch whatever you were looking at.

I remember the times when I’d hold you and you’d put your head on my shoulder purring in my ear, the nights that you spent sleeping next to my head purring into my ear, the kneading of your paws against my arm or on my legs when you sat in my lap.

I remember you playing in empty boxes and paper bags, I remember when you stole some of Dad’s minnows, I remember how you enjoyed to munch on the spring grass…. Mommy remembers and smiles. I love you JJ and I will always remember and I pray one day we will be together again. Thank you my sweet JJ for having been in my life, for having been there for me. Thank you for helping Mom deal
with the pain of losing you.

 

In my heart and on my mind forever till we meet again,
Elke
