Memories of Lucas

Someone would say that Lucas was just a cat but he wasn’t he was the best that ever happened to me. It was love at first sight with the two of us and whenever I was outside and he heard my voice he would come meowing. He knew his name and would sit and purr loudly for hours on end. I know that I will regret it for the rest of my life not getting him sooner than November and treating his life threatning condition.

He was diagnosed with heart disease and sadly on the weekend before Christmas went into congestive heart failure. We had him on Lasix which for awhile he was back to his normal self and eating like never before. But when on meds for a long time body will become immune and that is what happened on New Year’s Day. He will missed by those who laps, hearts, souls and lives
he entered deeply and touched.

My other precious furbabies await his arrival:Danny Boy-15yrs diabetes, Alisha-10yrs old rare fungal disease, Jasper- kidney disease, Peaches-Diabetes, Mikittens Razzamatazz-1112 months FIP, Dancing Bears Izdania aka Mischa (Samoyed)12yrs-hip dyplasia, stroke, cancer, or brain tumor, and Missy-11yrs bladder and urinary tract complications. I know that there will never be another one like him again but I know that one day he will be sitting in my lap forever and purring again.
They say memories are golden
well maybe that it is true
I never wanted memories
I only wanted You.

A million times I needed you
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway,
and heartache make a lane
I’d walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one
the chain will link again.

 

Beloved Purr Baby,
Lucas
