Honey we are so very sorry we had to take your life from you.

You always knew you could trust us with your very soul.

I feel like we let you down beyond what words can say.

We wanted with all our hearts for you to live.

When the vet told us the end of April that nothing else could

be done we knew what lied ahead of us.

We were praying God would take you in your sleep

but that did not happen.

I remember when I first brought you home.

I could hold you in one hand. With the coloring and blue eyes of a Siamese

and the long hair of a Himalayan you were adorable.

Over the years you developed such a regal walk. You did so have a prance.

So dignified. You were such a lady. You were so funny.

Always busy up to almost the end.

We would be watching tv and you would dart over the

sofa and run all over.

We miss you at nigh when we go to bed. You would sit on my

shoulder and read with us. That was a ritual.

You could not wait until we went to bed.

When we pass the closet we look in to see you sleeping

and you are not there.

We miss you at night when you would sit on my lap and

put your arms around my neck and love me.

Tabby we really believed you had 9 lives.

Over the past 6 years when your kidneys started to fail we almost lost

you several times and when you would come home from the vet

you would snap out of it.

The end of April I told the vet about your 9 lives and she said this

was your last life. When we lost you you had just turned 20.

Sweetie we love you so very much.

There is such a huge hole in our hearts.

Honey please forgive us for having to put you to sleep.

We could not stand to see you suffer any more.

Honey you will always have a very special place in our hearts.

We miss you dearly.

Mama and Daddy forever
