My wonderful Striper, I miss you so very much. My heart aches every day and night for you. I miss seeing you on your perch in my bedroom window and feeling your warm, solid body next to me in bed when I wake in the morning. You were so sweet and gentle and were gone too soon. Spotty looks everywhere for you, listens for you and is so lonely. I spend many hours looking at your pictures and wishing I could hold you again.
I held you in my arms as you passed away and hope you knew and were comforted. Your fur was wet with my tears and letting you go was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I loved you with all my heart and
will miss you always.
Thank you for the love and joy you gave us.
