For many Easter Bunny came that day but I will always remember it as the day you went away. I thought we had a good thing going, my little sick girl! I thought we you going to fight harder to stay with me. I hope that you know how much I love, how much I miss you, how much I wish I had just ONE day , with you, not sick that I could love you.

Below is a poem I wrote for you, I will see you again... this time you won't be afraid of me and I will have nothing but time to love you and all my other angels. I will be there for you Dutchess, I promise.

My Poem for Dutchess
On the side of the road, a kitten with your brother, hungry and sick
A place in my heart, you both claimed, pretty quick

For nine and half years, your prescnce was a blessing to feel
Though, scared you'd run, when beside you I tried to kneel

Never able to hold you so close as to feel your heart beat
Just being allowed to pet you was considered a real treat

White as snow, one of eye of green, the other of blue
I'd give anything to hear, your soft, sweet, mew

You died in those same arms, you would never before lay
That I loved you, that I miss, you know, I do pray

Not scared anymore, as home, my little angel has flown
Together we'll be again and Heavenly Father, Thanks for the loan.
