I still remember the day that you were born, so little and sweet, and the tiniest one of the group. How your golden fur shined against the all dark brothers and sisters. I fell in love right then and there! You were such a little love even then. When your eyes opened and you started to explore you came right over to me and climbed up in my lap and started that soft purring, well I was in catlove! Your eyes were such an unusual color, a deep copper that just seemed to radiate love to me. You loved to curl up in my arms and never did you ever scratch or bite like your brothers and sisters, indeed you seemed to avoid all this rough kitty play of your siblings. It was then that your name of Sweetheart came to me as you were truly a sweetheart in every way.
We had the closest bond, you and I, you loved to sleep under the covers against my legs. I still can feel your soft warm body even now sometimes late at night. Are you coming back for a cuddle? I like to think so. There are times when I can still hear your soft meow, even now, I guess that you are coming back and just reassuring Momma that you are fine and that you are still around in spirit. I miss you so much
my little Sweetheart.
The day that you left was such an empty, dark day. I buried you beside the house in your little pink blanket that you had from the start of your life. I hated to put you in the cold dark ground. But you weren’t really there were you? No. You had crossed over the bridge and were there watching over me. I will never know what happened to you. Why you had to die, but I know that you were snuggled up where you loved, under the covers against Mommie’s legs, so you weren’t alone. All of the other cats still miss you lovie, Mommie most of all, but I will see you again I know. Just remember that I will love you always and no one can take your place under the covers or in my heart. Goodbye for now
my most special Sweetheart.
All My Love,
