Good Morning and Merry Christmas!

As you know, I spent this Christmas Eve with my oldest son, as I read the Christmas at Rainbow Bridge aloud to him, starting it at 11:45 pm. We lit your white candle, fixed ourselves a cup of hot cocoa, and I read the
Christmas at Rainbow Bridge poem. We concluded the special time last night by taking the time to listen to your song, drinking our hot cocoa, and letting you and Bogus know how much we miss you.

So what do you think of my Bogus Khan? Is he not
everything I told you he would be? Be good to him please. I love you so fiercely it still is like a knife in my heart losing you, espically the way we did. It’s so darn unfair that I could not be with you like I did with Bogus when he crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. But I know that you know that if there was any way I could have been there, I would have brought you straight home.

Bogus must have been rolling over with laughter the day that I accidently splashed water on your hindquarters when I was in the pool and you came up to greet me and you stalked over to that black sheet, looked at me, lifted your tail and peed all over it, then casually started strolling out of the yard. I remember the shock of seeing what you had done, then starting to come out of the pool, while yelling at you for that. And how you looked back at me, threw your tail up in the are and played a grand game of dash away. You furry rascal!!

I have no doubt that Bogus was at the head of the pack, leading the way of prayers and vigal the awful night you came home to us after being shot. If you had not come home when you did, if you had gone to sleep that night, I know you would have woke up at the Bridge. But it was not your time yet was it? I know
when I arrive at the Bridge(when my time comes) I’m going to ask you in person the question I’m going to ask you now–did you come home on your own, or did Bogus send you home to us?

You are so special that the song about you has been heard by many people and I have no doubt will be heard by many more. I look at the stars at night and
know that you have a special place in the heavens.
How many other cats have their own special song? If I come across another one I’ll let you know, but I’m not going to hold my breath on that one.

I hope you don’t mind that I am posting my Soundclick member page on this memorial. I would love for everyone who reads this to go to that site, see the slideshow, and hear your song. You are so precious and the perfect kitty to have followed in Bogus’s giant pawprints.
