Rascal, it's been 3 years and the pain has not lessened! I love you so much and wish you back with me. You would be so proud of your girls and Cookie and her kids. I love them all and take care of them the way I know that you would.

I see you in each of the girls! When I play with them or cuddle with them I think of you and how you would have been had you had a chance to be a real house cat.

I know that some day I will be with you again and I can't wait to see you. I love you!

Here is the poem that I wrote for you, when you died.

Rascal, I wish I had a minute to hold you in my arms
To show you what you meant to me, My little angel from a farm.
I promised with you, when you needed me, I would be
But someone had other plans for that day you see.
I put you down and left you alone to sleep and let the medicine make you better
Never did I imagine, that was the last of you I would see, can my eyes really get any wetter.
I let you down, I know I did. A better place you will always be
Do you know, REALLY know how much you were loved and admired by me
Eight little babies you leave behind
A better mother and Aunt they could NEVER find
Cookie and the kittens will have a WONDERFUL life , to this I will see
After leaving you like i did, I wish I knew if you really trusted me
Cookie is caring for them all, from you she so learned
To have a chance to change that day I will FOREVER yearn
Please remember me and meet me at the gate
Because my baby it wouldn't be heaven, if for me you didn't wait.

Mommy, Sissy, Cookie, Your Girls, Your Nieces and
