My sweet Yoda, special soul mate for 18 years. I knew it was your time but can not accept it. This weekend as I held you close to my heart and rocked you I let you know that it was ok to go, that I did not want you to hurt any longer. Sunday we took you to the Blessing of the Animals at the church down the road. The priest held your little beautiful head and gave you a special blessing as I told him that you would probably not make the week. You died the very next day. Your entire life was blessed which in turn has blessed me beyond words. You are the sweetest most gentle soul that I have ever known. Helping me through all the growing pains-through the teens and just about all the twenties-you saw me through the rough times and the good ones as well. Graduating college, moving to the forst city, the second and the third...It was you and me never without each other.You were there when I cried, and when I laughed.My day was made when I would scoop you up in my arms, hear your purr and feel our souls greeting one another. You were a huge part of me, you are a huge part of me. That's why I feel so empty. Your part of me is gone. I'll meet you at the rainbow's bridge someday my baby. Then our souls will be one again.
