Just thought i would post a little remembrance for my beautiful boy Tommy, who died five years ago today, aged eight.
Dearest Tom; I'd found a lump on your leg, and had agreed to the vet operating to find out what is was. (Which I deeply regret putting you through.)
The vets warned me it was cancer, but i hoped you'd be ok.
You recovered from the op, but the vets were right; you did have cancer, and it was spreading fast, it was in your liver and kidneys and starting in your mouth, thats why you couldn't eat, you, who had always loved your food.
So i made the hardest decision i ever had to make and you were released from your pain with your daddy by your side. (I was so upset, I couldn't come in with you, we said goodbye at home and i waited outside the vets so i'd be near you.)
You hated car rides, but you were quiet, so i knew you wanted to go to the bridge.
I miss you my darling boy, no cat i ever have will come close to you my number one boy, wait for me.
I know you are at peace and are happy up there on the bridge with George and the other animals.
Love you always and forever,
Mummy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

RIP Tommy xx Have fun at the Bridge until your Mum comes for you.
Remember Our Love
I was chosen that day
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry
And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone
When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.
Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.
There was a person on earth who loved me
who put my life before their own
When I was hungry there was always food
and water or milk for my thirst
There were warm kind arms to hold me
gentle hands to scratch my ears & rub my tummy
I had toys for play & a warm dry bed for sleep
And all was because I was loved
My person cared for me when I was ill
always knowing just what was wrong
and when my body failed me
my person helped me leave without pain
There were tears when I left and what makes me sad
is that I could never say I love you in words
never say thank you for all you gave
and most of all, for loving me
I fear she never knew the depth of my gratitude
and will never know the peace she gave
Now the tears, pain & guilt I see
make me wish I could go back
to somehow take all that away
I wish I could return & give a warm caress
A happy purr and just once be able to say
you were perfect in every way
I'm fine, I'm happy & I bask in the memory
of all we shared & how we loved
and you never ever failed me
