Memorial

Tonight I said farewell to a best friend. She was a confidant, a teacher, and an inspiration. Her contributions to my life were immeasurable. My love of her transcends our time together. The world has lost a wonderful creation, but God has gained a gentle, selfless soul.

I'll never forget you climbing up and rubbing my chin. I'll always remember how, even though you were 7 years old, you acted like a kitten. The quiet magic you exuded touched me in a dead place in my heart. I can't wait to see you again, if I am so blessed, in heaven.

I will always love you Minerva.

So sorry for your loss. It's so hard to lose anyone and pets especially. Hugs.

I recently suffered a similar loss of my kitty, Mopar. He was 11 1/2 and he filled such a special place in my heart. I'd had him since he was 5 weeks old - I still get up in the morning and walk to where the food dish wash - force of habit. :(
