You have been gone almost 3 weeks now and I miss you so much. You were always there for me. We went through alot together. I remember when I first got to see you, the day Paul brought you to me. They found you underneath a dump truck. You were just a baby then probably about 6 weeks old. I had to hide you the first 3 years I had you with me because we always lived in apartments that didn't take pets. I remember everyone helping me hide you at the U.T. apartments. All the neighbors knew about you and wanted to help out. Finally after I got out of school I moved into a place where you didn't have to hide anymore. You liked to lay in the sun in front of the patio door. We moved around town alot and I know you never liked going in the car. You were there when Jessica was born. Everyone said you would be jealous but that was never a problem. Then we moved from Tennessee to Florida in May. I brought you down here on the plane because I didn't want you to have to ride in the car for 16 hours. As it turned out with all the delays that day, I could have driven you down here faster but you handled all that like a little trooper. We kept going to the vet over what we thought was a sinus infection. Then they wanted to run more tests. We wanted to do anything we could to make you better. We never really found out what was wrong with you after all that. I kept hoping you would get better. I remember being afraid to come home from work because I was afraid you would be gone. Things started getting worse. You went blind and then you couldn't walk but I kept trying to work with you. People kept telling me that it was time but you were still taking your feedings and didn't appear to be in pain. I didn't want you to die on that exam table in the vet's office. I knew how you didn't like that place. In the early morning hours before you died, you started crying out. I knew you were suffering then. We made the decision to take you to the vet the next day. But you didn't have to die in the vet's office. You died in the bedroom floor with Jessica and I holding you and there with you. It was so hard to let you go. You had been there with me for 16 years. I had to call Cyndi in Tennessee and tell her you were gone. You were always so special to me and everyone knew that. Please let us know you are allright now. We all miss you so much. I have talked to alot of the people I used to work with in Tn. and they were all very sad. We adopted another kitten from the animal shelter here. Gabbi is a very sweet kitten. I know you would be happy to know that we gave another kitten a chance to have a good home and be loved. Gabbi will never take your place and I will always love you and miss you. You were the best friend I have had and I will never forget that. I could talk to you when I could talk to no one else and you always cared. I will always love you for that. I know you are waiting for me at Rainbow's Bridge and one day I will meet you and we will cross the bridge together. Until that day always remember how much I love you.
