How are you? Do you feel better now? Have you started to adjust to the new way of life? No more pain in your mouth and throat? Hope your hind legs have also regained strength to enable you to run around the green pasture and make new friends.
Kitty, I would love to use this opportunity to thank you for the over 18 years of time with the Txxx family. Knowing you since you have decided to join us by entering into the carrier of R and J as their wedding present, seeing you grow up with SS and HH and finally coming to our side to join us when we wanted a cat.
During our past 13 years together, your love and bonding towards the family have grown and flourished. You not only is a smart loving girl, you also is a very considerate helper, a nurse as well. The way you care about grandma during her stroke, is still flashing in my memory. You also is a role model to younger sister Goldie, who loves and respects you.
Between you and me, our bonding could not be much closer. You are my warm water bottle during those cold winter nights. You are my alarm at times. But above all, you are part of me.
During your struggles with those breast tumor operations, kidney degeneration, deteriorating hind legs and the late mouth ulcers, you demonstrated to us your strong will to survive and the faith you have in us and the vets. Though those days are painful, but it has united the family to new heights. Through consulting others, we have gained a lot of knowledge for which we shall share out to help others.
Kitty, my dear, please forgive me for making the decision to let you go today. I made that decision because a tumor was found underneath your tongue and it had grown fast, leaving you with limited life expectancy of at most a few months, and that you will no longer be able to eat on your own and enjoy food. Frankly speaking, since your quality of life would likely worsen rapidly rather than improve in the remaining time, I do not want you to suffer further. We all in the family recognized that you had done a brilliant job on earth, and that your mission had been completed with flying colors, so though unwilling, we are prepared to let you rest peacefully. You left us at around 5.30pm on Sunday, 6th October, 2013 at the age of 18 years and 9 months.
We will surely remember you in our hearts and mind. Your physical absence did make our hearts tank and ache, but we believe that with the help of the Lord and all the dear friends, we will be able to stand up and continue life anew. We believe this is what you want us to do as well.
Once again, I thank you for being my child, you have bought and taught me a lot. You will remain the special child in the special place in our hearts. So good-bye, my dear daughter. Do not be afraid. Do not worry about us. Go forward in peace and joy. The Lord will continue to guide, guard and protect both you and us, as He had done in the past.
P.S. Goldie had been looking for you after dinner. She sure had sensed your absence. I would like to thank you for your generosity in accepting her into the family and living in harmony with her despite the close to 10 years of age gap between both of you. Please continue to guide, guard and protect her as you always did.
I remain, your loving mother
