Goodbye, Poe...

My dear little cat passed away this morning. We took him to the vet when he was getting sicker again, ready to put him down, but the vet said to try him with some IV fluids overnight and see how he does. I was glad he may have one last chance. But upon returning at one o' clock this afternoon to collect him, we were taken to his kennel and informed that he passed away this morning. Instant tears. But the doctor and nurse were very kind and understanding and supplied me with many tissues. As my mom asked what would happen with the body, I leaned in and kissed him and scratched his neck like he always loved and played with the little rip in his ear and told him I loved him and goodbye and I was sorry. And cried and cried. But at least he went peacefully and we're going to bury his ashes under the tree in the backyard. At least the suffering is over...he knew I loved him, I know he did. And even though I wanted to see him one last time, and be with him when he died, at least he was in good hands and the fluids probably relieved the pain before he passed. So...goodbye Poe, I love you, and wait for me in Heaven.

Musical Quote of the Day

"Come to me
We'll never be apart
The sun you see
Is me
No more pain
No memories remain
No you can play with me

So hold me know
You are the one
I give you all
The stars I see
The rain is gone
No pain is here
I beg you all your love"
