Kati by Lynda Schmitz / Lynda

Kati girl I miss you so. It was so painful to see you go like that. One minute we we’re playing ball outside by the pool like we would always do after I came home from work. You were so full of life for that short 1/2 hour, until you knew something was terribly wrong. I took one look at you and knew it too. All I could do was hold you and try to comfort you while your dad went to call the vet, but you were gone before we could take you there; you took your final breath. It was so unbelievable that you were actually gone. I’m going to miss you so much.

You have been gone for 5 months now and when I awake in the morning I still think I’ll go in the kitchen and there you’ll be waiting for me to make breakfast; so you can have some.

It is hard to believe that you’ll never again meet me at the door when I get home, or sneak into our bedroom at night when you think daddy is asleep.

You have come to me in my dreams a few times, and what sweet dreams they are. God now has your soul and I have your spirit. We will be together again someday, I know it. For I can’t wait until the day I can touch you again and look into your trusting, loving eyes.

I wanted to thank you for always being there for me and never judging me. The love you have given me over the past tens years, I will cherish till the day I die. You meant the world to me and still do. I will never, in all the journeys, find a better friend than you. You always stood right by my side, whether I was crying, laughing, sick or just lying around.

You were everything to me Kati girl, my little “Kate Skate”. You gave me the best ten years of my life, and I hope I gave the same to you. I miss your touch so much that it hurts.
How you loved to play ball and play with all your stuffed animals, especially Bear-Bear. I still have all of them, along side your collar.

Lizzy misses you so much too. She always goes over to where your bed once was to lie down with you and play. She always sniffs your collar and toys because
she can still smell you.

You were the best dog in the world, Kati. You were so gentle, loving and caring. You wouldn’t hurt a soul.

I know you are happy at the Rainbow Bridge. I can just see you chasing after tennis balls. You were so loyal Kati, and your endless, unconditional love will always remain in my heart. I want you to keep playing with all your friends and know someday we will meet again.

Daddy, Tyler, Gabby and Lizzy love you very much and they miss you dearly.

Thank you for all the wonderful fond memories you have given me. I love you my little Kati girl, and I will never say goodbye to you, for I know our physical separation is just temporary. I’m blowing you kisses right now, and know that I love you with all my heart and soul. I cannot wait until the day you spot me, and come rushing to greet me, for we will walk side-by-side into glorious Heaven
with such delightful glee.

Someday Kati girl, I will take your place and I know you will be waiting for me with such care. So until then, I will live out my journey, and soon enough baby, I will see you there.

I will love you forever my Kati girl.

 

Love your Mom,
Kati
