Cats are independent, don't listen, don't come in when you call, stay out all night and when they're home they like to be left alone to sleep....Every quality that Women HATE in a Man, they LOVE in a Cat...

The Greatest Gift

I always knew this time would come,
From the very instant our eyes first met.
How I loved you then! How I love you now!
I made a promise then, and I will keep that promise now...
You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal;
You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone.

It is for me alone to make this decision,
The price for the bright joy and pure laughter
You brought me during the time we shared.
I am the only one who can decide when it is time.
When my hope dies, and my fear rides high,
Just when I need you most, I must let you go.

It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready
For without your guidance, I will not know
When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger
My sorrow and my selfish heart aside
And give you this last gift, this greatest gift.
Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.

The pain of this moment is excruciating.
Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow.
And my heart drowns in a pool of grief.
For you have spoken and I have listened,
And unlike other decisions I have made
This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace.

For if there´s one thing you´ve taught me,
If there´s only one thing I´ve learned...
Unconditional love has a condition after all,
I must be willing to let you go, when you speak to me
I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone.
And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.

Go easily now, go quickly now,
Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
Go find your strength, go find your youth.
Go find the ones who've gone before you.
You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar
Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone.

I pray I will find comfort in my memories...
In the dark and lonely days ahead.
I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry.
For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
But, I promise you this; as long as I live,
You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart.

So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give,
And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away.
It is the measure of my unconditional love...
For only the greatest love can say,
"Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again,
Loving you has been the greatest gift of all."

Forever and Always... Until Rainbow bridge....

Not sure if you remember but back in June last year I posted about Felix, my moms 19 year old cat. Well today he lost his battle and we had too make the tragic decision to PTS :(

Last year he had a problem with his weight and had all the tests and everything came back ok, we even managed to get some weight back on him. Then out of the blue he got a eye infection that wouldn't respond to treatment which unfortunately resulted in him losing that eye. He came through the operation like the trooper he was and seemed to settle down and cope with just the one eye. But slowly slowly we noticed things were just not right him. He started losing weight again and his legs were getting stiffer and stiffer. Over the last month or so he was getting more and more confused and distressed. It also looked like he was losing the sight in his remaining eye.

It was heartbreaking to see him because he was just not the Felix we all know and love but he was suffering and the we had to take that pain away. Moms heart is broken but Felix is in the garden now in the spot he loved to sit and sunbath, so that is giving her some comfort. In the summer she will be able to sit on the bench beside him and continue their long chats about nothing in particular  :hug:

RIP Felix, little man you will live forever in our hearts 22/02/2012
