Dearest Choobah:
It’s been a month since you left with a breezy sigh. Your will to live was so strong, but sadly your body was failing & could not go on as it was without you suffering greatly. Although I know that it was best to speed you to the Angels, I am riddled with grief & sorrow. You were so dear to us, but just that little bit extra special to me & I feel like something chipped off my soul & left my heart shattered that fateful evening, just one month ago, though it feels like an eternity. It’s been so hard because everyone loved you so.
Your brother, Leo & sister, Dottie have taken to comforting each other, but every now & then, sorrow overwhelms them too & they cry out & go looking for you. Please help them to heal if you can.
I had a happy thought come to me last night. I remember how you walked from upstairs down to the TV room with that balloon & just cracking us up with your ingenuity. You loved string so much, we had to make sure our shoes were kinda’ kept together, or else you’d take to dragging one around & the places I would find one that was MIA, you goof! I just wish more of these silly memories would come to me now. I am wallowing in pain & sorrow without you Manny. I want to go back in time & just hold you & hear your famous purr. I’m so glad you gave me that purr to your bitter end, it helped to know that you loved us & were as happy to see us, as we were to see you, even as we had to face all hope of keeping you here was lost. Please, if you can, share some comfort with me & your family, as we are all missing you terribly.
We were there when you were conceived on that beautiful May afternoon. We rooted for you & broke your sack when you were born on that hot July night, & we comforted you with all the love we could muster when you were helped to leave your ever worsening body. We were able to share in your whole life & that was such a glorious gift. We love you Choobie Choob, always remember that “You are my Choobah, my Choobah Choppah, Choop Choppah Choobah, Choop Choppah Choo.” Rest easy noble kitten. May you bask eternally in the love we shared. >^..^< - purrrrrrrrrrr
In Loving Memory Of:
“Manny”
