This is a hard post to write. My baby kitty Katie who has been with me for over 18 years passed away this weekend.
Katie has been my world for so long it is very hard to know that she is gone. She will never be forgotten. I can't tell you how much it has meant to me to have her as a part of my life. I am so blessed that I got to be a part of her life. She helped me in ways she will never know. Below are a few of my favorite pictures of my little baby Katie.
What a pretty face. This is the mom can't I stay outside face :)
Katie laying on the couch with her mommie and baby sister Rorie. I will miss having my baby lay beside me always. She never asked she just did it.
Eating a little grass.
I will miss my Katie very much. Seeing this on the way home made me think about The Rainbow Bridge Poem.
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
This is very helpful to know that one day I will see her again and too know that she is running and playing and very happy with her sister Bebe. I will see again one day Katie.
Love always.
