We were in Germany,when she entered our life.We found her in a parking lot running around with about a dozen other kittens.This was August of 1982.She was the only pure black kitten in the group,she came to me and so began our journey thru life together.Calypso was chosen for her name and the vet said she was about 8 weeks old.We gave her June5,1982 as her birthday which is also our daughter's birthday.Calypso traveled and lived all over the world as we were a Air Force family.She was a joy to us and stories of things she did would require a book be written.Calypso was never sick a day in her life.Calypso loved Christmas time and as soon as the tree went up she would be under it. We called her our Christmas cat.This year we could tell it would be different as she was getting very thin and weak.Her vet said that her system was starting to shut down.My tears flowed freely just thinking about it.Then on December 20,1998 at 4:00PM she began that journey and we sat with her and told her it was alright and to just let go and we love her very much.Calypso passed on to Rainbow Bridge at 5:30PM ON December20,1998 due to natural causes.So as I write this my tears are flowing freely and the sadness and emptiness of our home without her can not be expressed in words.Her vet said it best when he told me,she must of loved being a Feeney (our last name)to have stayed this long. A special urn shaped like a pyramid is being shipped from the west coast to hold her ashes.She will also be a Rainbow Bridge resident as soon as her picture is ready .We are grateful for the time she gave us.Calypso,we will love you and always have a special place in our heart for you.Calypso,we will never forget you.We miss you so much.
