My Baby Shaodw, you and your brother Rusty were born on September 18, 1998 down in Florida in a covered sump pump. Your mom, Callie, was a stray. And to keep you and Rusty safe from getting hit, we took you in. We tried to take in your mom, too, but she wanted to be an outside cat. So Daddy and I raised you and your brother from kittens. You had been with us for 10 and a half years. You were the best baby of them all. You were so loving
to everyone, especially Bear.
We don’t know why you got sick or what caused you to lose your life in just a few short days, but we tried all that we could to take care of you. Why you stopped eating and drinking we will never know. Dr. Walter said it was your liver, and yet, Dr. Rountree found nothing wrong with your liver from the blood test. But Dr. Walter knew you the best. He told Daddy and me that it probably was your liver. He gave you a shot and gave us medicine for you and told us to get you baby food and some Pedialyte. So on the way home from Dr. Walter we had to stop and get these things for you. I am so sorry, My Shadow. I just wish we were with you when you went to sleep for the last time. You of all will hold the most special place in our hearts and we will always
and forever love you.
You will be missed more than you will ever know. I especially will miss you on my side when I lay on the couch at night kneading me. My Shadow, why did you have to leave so suddenly? What made you so sick for such a short period of time? Only God has those answers and maybe one day He will tell me. Rest in peace, my precious little boy. Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge. I will see you there soon.
With all our love, now and forever,
| Shadow |
