Rest in Peace, my beloved Bella. You have been in Heaven more than 6 years now, and I know you are healthy and happy. You never were a mushy girl. From the moment I met you in 2002 you were very alone and aloof. I suppose it is because you lived in a back yard for so long and didn't know the human touch until you were expecting your beautiful litter. I missed the warm companionship of a feline, but things didn't change with you over the years. You remained alone and aloof. I adopted you to "replace" Dorothy, and you were not a good replacement. You know what you were? You were the best You in the world, and I wouldn't have changed things if I could have. Looking back, you were the least trouble of any cat I have ever known and loved. AND, know that I loved you deeply. You were the consummate lady. When it came to hydrating, medicating, visiting the vet, going to the photographer, sitting in church to be blessed, you behaved like a perfect lady. You knew in your heart I was doing right by you, and while you couldn't show it, I knew it. AND, intelligent! You were one smart lady. I suppose that's why you coped with me so well. You knew you were safe and loved, and I promise you that you will always be loved. You were not a good replacement for Dorothy, but she would not be a good replacement for you. You were each as God created you, and the memories I will always hold dear are beautiful memories. You know now that one week after your passing Mr. Rollo Noel and I brought a new little girl into our lives. Ashleigh AnnaBella came the following Saturday. She had lost her human mother and was in a nice foster home. But, she needed a mommie and I needed to fill the big hole you left in my life. She is a warm cuddly older kitty, and she knows all about how lovely you were. Sleep well, rest in peace, and know how much love is with you each and every day. XOXOXOXOX Please also visit Dorothy, Lady Magdalena and Middie the Kitty. |
