I was 4 years old when I first saw you.

You were afraid to go near me because I always pulled your tail

when you tried to walk away. As the years went by you gained my trust.

I remember when there was a blizzard and you went outside.

Remember when it was Halloween my birthday and I was dressed as

a witch and you were my cat? I’ll keep the picture forever.

Remember when we moved to Arizona and you almost ran

away on the highway in Texas?

We moved back to New Jersey but you would always sneak into the

car when the window was open hoping for another ride.

Remember when I was sad and you would walk up next to me and

lay on my lap. Thanks Rosco thanks a lot.

I remember when we had company over and you would hide in

mom and dad’s room until they left.

Remember when I wouldn’t finish my cereal and you would

drink the milk.

I never knew a cat that loved popcorn chips and

american cheese like you did.

Remember when I would dance and sing to the radio

and you was my audience?

Remember when I made cupcakes March 16th for your birthday?

Remember when the boys would ride their bikes down the hill when

you were on the bottom. I yelled at them for almost running you over.

Remember when you got into all those fights with the other cats

and came home with your ear cut open n and you were limping?

You remember when I ate cat food don’t you? Don’t tell me you forgot.

EW! that stuffs too salty!

I’m really glad I gave you some of my food.

I’m sorry for giving you a pepper once-you didn’t like it at all- lol told ya.

The night before you got sick I gave you a big hug for no reason.

Then you went to go eat . I woke up and saw you with your back legs

and tail paralyzed. We took you to the vet as soon as it opened 2 hours later.

You had a blood clot and a heart problem.

There was little hope. We left you over night. You got worse.

When I saw you the next day you were weezing.

Now you only have 3 days or even less to live.

Good-bye my Rosco remember me in kitty heaven.

Please visit- your ghost won’t scare me.

Come into my room and lay down on my bed like

you always did EVERY night.
