On Tuesday 17th November I had to say goodbye to my childhood friend Topsey.
I had Topsey from when i was 5/6years old, we had rescued her from neighbours down the road who were neglecting her.
She was my first pet and she was the greatest, I remember every time i cried topsey would jump up to me and cuddle me, she hated to see anyone cry.
Topsey was always the top cat she even showed the dogs she was in charge.
Sadly Topsey gradually got artritis in her back and over the years she struggled to get around.
and one day we noticed she could not walk on her back legs and was dragging them around with her.
So we took her to the vet where he said their wasnt much he could do, as it was a blood clot in her back
me and my dad had to make the hard decision of putting her out of her misery so we agreed it was for the best.
I was in tears, and have been for weeeks, But one nite when i was about to fall asleep i rememberd all the good times we had together and how much she hated seeing me upset.
I know now she is at rest and free from all pain, she is a young cat once again..
Love you Topsey
You may have left us all, but u will never leave our hearts

The Greatest Gift
I always knew this time would come,
From the very instant our eyes first met.
How I loved you then! How I love you now!
I made a promise then, and I will keep that promise now...
You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal;
You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone.
It is for me alone to make this decision,
The price for the bright joy and pure laughter
You brought me during the time we shared.
I am the only one who can decide when it is time.
When my hope dies, and my fear rides high,
Just when I need you most, I must let you go.
It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready
For without your guidance, I will not know
When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger
My sorrow and my selfish heart aside
And give you this last gift, this greatest gift.
Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.
The pain of this moment is excruciating.
Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow.
And my heart drowns in a pool of grief.
For you have spoken and I have listened,
And unlike other decisions I have made
This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace.
For if there´s one thing you´ve taught me,
If there´s only one thing I´ve learned...
Unconditional love has a condition after all,
I must be willing to let you go, when you speak to me
I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone.
And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.
Go easily now, go quickly now,
Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
Go find your strength, go find your youth.
Go find the ones who've gone before you.
You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar
Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone.
I pray I will find comfort in my memories...
In the dark and lonely days ahead.
I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry.
For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
But, I promise you this; as long as I live,
You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart.
So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give,
And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away.
It is the measure of my unconditional love...
For only the greatest love can say,
"Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again,
Loving you has been the greatest gift of all."
Forever and Always... Until Rainbow bridge....
