Cinny's Life
by Aimee Kent
Cinny was Born on August 18,2001 he was One of 6 Kittens.. at 3 weeks old we Never Realized That The Cats were Anemic ( The Vet Said it was from The Mother having to many litters to close) 2 Of them Passed away at the Vets Office we were told not to get attached to the rest.. we brought them home and within another hour 2 more departed... We Nursed Cinny and his Brother for 3 weeks feedings every 3 hours around the clock and kept him warm on a heating pad.. at 7 weeks cinny was his spunky self Running all over the place.. Especialy Under my feet... Well Cinny made it and he was Not going ANYWHERE.. Cinny liked to get into bed with daddy every night they would have play time and when daddy told him time was up cinny stopped playing and went to check on the children.. Every night he went into my sons room and kissed him, than to my youngest daughters room and kissed her.. But the biggest Fan of cinny was my oldest Daughter Rachel, Cinny used to crawl up on her bed every night and curl up on her chest and off to dream land he went... Every Morning when her Alarm clock went off Cinny would wake-up and bat Rachels face bite her fingers till she got up and played with him.. Cinny didnt Like Outside and was More Content with being inside But he used to walk the girls to the end of the driveway wait for the school bus and than come right home.. But this day May 25,2001 The day started out normal Cinny went out to the driveway to wait but the girls had decided they were gonna roller skate to school well cinny was at the bus stop waiting and must of got sick of waiting because as he was coming home he was struck by a car ( Flying) and Killed instantly.. The pain in my Daughters Face was Unbearable to see them Carrying Cinny down the driveway Their baby the love of their lives.. Our Angel. We Buried Cinny In Mommy's Garden ( Because he used to come out while mommy was gardening and bat the flowers) It's Been 4 Days and The Pain Just wont Go away my Daughters ask why would someone kill Cinny and not stop?? why did he have to die?? Why Cinny?? I Can't answer them Because my pain is Just as Bad and Because i Have No answers I don't know how ANYONE could kill an animal and not stop.. I don't know why Cinny.. I Just Know for the 9 months Cinny was here he was never loved more nor were we loved any less.. Cinny if you read This Please Baby know that we love you more than anything in this world and we are really trying to make sense of all this.. And To Top it off Yesterday when we went to visit you there was a Butterfly The Same Color as you.. And Today we were at a Parade honoring all the veterans and the same colored Butterfly Sat on Rachels Flag she swears That it is you and i am Hoping she is Right.. Or That you sent this Butterfly as a message that you are ok.. Sleep Tight My baby Boy...
