I remember all the things we ever did together. How we used to play together, and have the greateset fun. How I’d always give you your daily treats, and you’d lick my hand with love. I remember how I taught you to come when called… until then, no-one knew you could teach a ratty that. You used to cuddle up in my lap, and would ride around the house on my shoulder. You would snuggle up next to me, see what I was doing. We were the best of friends, until that unforgetable day. I was sick with worry. I didn’t know what to do or what would happen. I was restless and nervous. Then, when you slipped away from life right there in my arms, I knew. I knew that you were really home, and that you’d forever be away from the pain you once felt. But I also knew one other thing. That I’d never see you again, that I’d never be with you again. But, after some thought, I realized I was wrong…
I will eventually see you again and
play with you again, once I cross the Rainbow Bridge,
with you up on my shoulder once again.
In Memory of Blaze,
my special ratty whom I loved like a son,
