My Baby Boy

by Arlecha McGrath

I am not the Mother of a human but I was a Mother to him. He came into my life and had to endure all of life's many ups and downs right along beside me. He was my protector...I never felt scared. He was my companion...I never felt alone. He was my best friend...he always listened. He was by my side when my marriage failed and saw me cry. If I could have only made him better. But I knew that I couldn't. He depended on me for everything. He was my boy...he still is. I hope he knew how much I loved him. I had no idea of what a loss like this feels like. This is truly the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. I know he is not suffering anymore and I know that he is getting into trouble for chasing cats. I do find comfort in knowing that there are many people out there that love their animals as much as I loved my Baby Boy(Apollo).
