So the day had finally come yesterday. The day in which I can honestly tell you, I did not expect to happen for many years to come.
We put our cat to sleep yesterday..16 years. You could say "he's just a cat".. but he was much more than that to us. He was family. And i'm torn up about it.
I want to share a poem:
If it should be that I grow weak, And pain should keep me from my sleep;
Then you must do what must be done, For this last battle can’t be won.
You will be sad, I understand;
But don’t let grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest, Your love for me must stand the test.
We’ve had so many happy years; What is to come can hold no fears.
You don’t want me to suffer so; The time has come, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they’ll tend, But please stay with me ’til the end
To hold me close and speak to me, Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree, It was a kindness done for me.
Although my tail its last has waved, From pain and suffering I am saved.
Please do not grieve that it was you, Who had this painful thing to do.
We’ve been so close, we two, these years;
Don’t let your heart hold any tears.
As time goes by I won't forget,
That you were my beloved pet.
You made me happy when I was sad
And just for that I'm very glad.
God took you to his home in the sky.
I miss you son but please don't cry.
Although my heart is broken in two,
One day I'll come and be with you.
I don't know when, but when I do,
I will come and cuddle you.
I think about you everyday.
My heart will never feel the same way.
Until we meet again some day,
Together forever and never apart,
You'll be forever in my heart.
Always thinking of and missing him.
