Lily, Thank you for waiting for me to get back home to say good bye on April 1, 2013. It must have been tough to wait that 1 day with the discomfort you must have felt, yet hid so well. I never expected to bring you to the vet and have you returned via fedex in your new resting spot. Pet Meadow did a very nice job with the pretty box, and how it was mailed. I hope you like where you are placed on the mantel, overlooking the window that you always looked out and watched the birds and butterflies. I hope you like the butterfly lights next to your new place that I turn on every night for an hour just for you. Through this grieving process, I’m trying to remember you alive verses sick and passing away. — Like the day you so proudly caught your one and only mouse. That big meow, when you caught it and placed it in front of the bedroom door for me, was unforgettable. You where so happy and I was so proud of you. You made it through hurricane sandy wearing a sweater, I was so impressed. Not once did you meow about it, you knew it was warm during those many cold days without power on the coldest day. You where a strong, brave beautiful cat. That will be the way you will always be remembered to me. love always
“Mommy”
