Missing My Special Furry Friend:
A Special Place In My Heart
Unconditional Love
Companionship
Someone To Love And Hold Onto
Hugs And Sandpaper Kisses In The Middle Of The Night
Bright Green Eyes
Stolen Moments Alone
Purrs And Paw Squeezes
Rolling Greetings When I Return Home
Humor And Mischief
Buried Collars
Broken Glasses
Tipped Plants
Ladders To Retrieve Her From Tall Windows
Brooms To Save Her From “Bully” Cats
A Feeling Of Being Needed
Listening To Her Breathing
Worrying About Her Health
Shots And Vaccinations
Trips To The Vet
Inhalers And Pills
Seeking Solutions And Wondering What To Do
Her Last Moments
Anguish And Pain
Trying To Get To Me
Hoping To Stay Still
Lying In My Arms
Breathing Labored
Finally Rest
Still Furry And Warm
Smells Like Sunshine
Have To Say “Goodbye”
What’s Left When Your Special Friend Is Gone
Memories
Self Doubt
Thinking She Is Still There
Hearing Her In My Mind
Seeing Her In My Mind
Missing Her With My Heart
A Small Box With A Few Ashes
Hope To See Her Again In A Meadow Above
Gratitude For Having Been Granted Time With Such A Special Friend
Those Of Us Who Are Lucky Enough To Have Had A Special Friend…We Are Truly Blessed To Have Shared Our Lives, Laughter And Love With Them.
