Louie
Nothing could stop you
you went on with your life so bravely
until today, it was your time to say goodbye.
Even in your final hours, you loved so deeply and unconditionally.
I look for you everywhere, the house is so quiet and your presence is strong.
How will we go on with out You?
The joys of you in our life will never fade.
We had so many good years together, yet I wish for one more week, one more day, one more hour just to hold you a little longer.
Your garden is beautiful and will thrive in your memory.
Nothing could stop you.
Until we meet again old friend
You will never be forgotten.
In loving memory of our cat Louie
