Nanker was given to me in 1992.
I was his third owner.
He spent the first week hiding under the bed as he didn’t know me.
He came out bit by bit and we got to know each other.
He’s moved with me twice the last place a house where he could enjoy
the backyard in the summer. He was healthy until about 18 months ago
when he developed kidney disease and has been going down since.
I had to put him down two days ago as he had fluid around his
lungs and heart.
I was with him when he died and cried after.
I’ve been crying alot since that and thinking of many memories of him.
I cried last night remembering the times he used to sleep with me.
I didn’t ever think I would cry this much for him as he was only a cat
but I miss him more than I thought I would.
I’ve cried more for him than I did for a family member that died last year.
Nanker accepted me the way I am unlike some people I know.
I also cried after visiting this web site and reading “rainbow bridge.”
I miss you Nanker,
and hope that someday we will meet again as in the poem,
“Rainbow Bridge.”
love,
Michele
