Sassy by Loren / Mommy

In loving memory of our Sassy who we love so much. Sassy will be greatly missed and be in our hearts forever.

Dear Sassy,

I know that you have gone to the Rainbow Bridge now, to be with Rollie and my other lost loved ones. Although you are no longer here on earth, you will forever remain in my heart and my memory.

Few people have been lucky enough to have a companion like you have been to me. I grew up with you, laughed with you, played with you, cried with you. You were a very patient cat, and put with Lucas and I’s games in our younger days. Remember when we tried to teach you and Figaro the alphabet? Or, when we dressed you up in baby clothes? Or, that dreadful time when you ran away from home and found your way back on Christmas Eve. I spent every night looking for you until you were home.

No pet has ever been so special as you have. I will never forget all those night you slept by my side (or on my head) and how you always meowed when I was near. I will never forget your stubbornness, or how you would be angry when I’d leave the house for a long time. I will always remember the days passing with you lying by my side.

Even as I write this, no words can contain how much I love you or how much I know you love me. Words can also not say how much I miss you or what I wouldn’t give to have you here again.

I know I will see you again one day, until then you will be in my memory. It may take some time, but do not lose hope that we will one day be reunited.

All my love,

Mommy

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die…
