Welcome to Shadow's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Shadow

It's been four years now and I still miss you so much, but I know you have gone on to a better place and I will see you again someday. I am more at peace now, maybe in part because of my new life and in part because I know you had a long and full life. You were with people that loved and cared for you and many, many animals don't/didn't have that. I still think of you every day and look at your picture often, but with less pain now. In fact, I have another kitty to care for and love. Rest assured that she could NEVER replace you, but I know that I have so much love to give to another animal and this is what you would have wanted. I will hold in my heart always, my special memories of you, my sweet little fur baby. You were so cute and gave us all so much love. I have so many special memories of our time together. You were the cutest little kitty when you came to live with us, almost 20 years ago. You found your way into our hearts so quickly and completely because of your unconditional love and unique qualities. You were just a much a part of our family as any of my "human" babies. I remember the night you didn't come home and I worried about you as a mother worries about a child. You used to love to bring your live playmates in to meet us, too...there was the baby rabbit, the mouse, and even a few birds. And when you had your own babies, you were the perfect little mom...so protective and loving. Over the years, you developed your own special personality and nothing could get your attention more than the can opener, especially when it was a can of tuna. During your last few years, you were not able to move around as much because of your arthritis. So we made sure you had a window sill to sit on, with a bird house just outside so you could sit and watch your little friends. You loved your yarn, catnip, and little toy balls. But your biggest joy seemed to be when you were getting your daily brushing. You loved it so much. You left so many special memories, Shadow, that I could write a book. I will stop grieving, one day, and it will be hard. But the grief will be replaced by fond, loving, memories of my special little baby. Mommy loves you and misses you so much. You will never be forgotten.
