I saw you first as a cute grey kitten.
You were so small you could fit in a mitten.
We took you home after I begged and pleaded.
I had no idea then how much you would be needed.
Even though I was only 9 at the time, I treated you like my child.
I loved how you pounced and played like you were wild.
As we both grew up together
You knew just how to make my life better
When I was sad you were there to console me
Whenever I felt trapped, you would come around and make me feel free
You were never forgotten whenever I got a new friend
Somehow you knew I'd be there for you till the very end
One day when I noticed a small lump,we rushed you to the vets and he did a test
When the results said you had Leukemia, he said euthenasia would be best
I ran away crying but as I thought it over, something told me not to give up on you
I knew you were meant to be with me longer, and my feelings proved to be true
We got to spend much more time together builing more happy memories
I knew we didnt have much time left, I wished I could have made time freeze
When one day you didnt come home, we searched for you everywhere
There you were behind the garage, just laying there
Reality hit me so hard just then
I knew I was going to lose my best friend
As we walked into the vets to see what they could do,
When they told us you need to be put on IVs and keep you overnight I didn't want to let go of you
As I told you I loved you and said goodbye, you let out a purr as if to say"I love you and I'll be ok"
I kissed your head and said I love you one more time, then the vet picked you up and carried you away.
That was the last time I got to see you because you passed away during the night
I just hope I did everything right
But because I wasnt with you the night you passed
The guilt in me will forever last
I hope you can forgive me my darling little girl
I want you to know you were the center of my world
I miss you terribly, but I am glad that you are no longer in pain or suffering
And now ny little angel finally got her wings
Misty I know we will be together once again, but until that day comes you will always be remembered and be in my heart. Our time together will never be forgotten and I will always cherish our memories. I love you sweetie!
Love,
your mom and best friend
