Skuttle

Our little man Skuttle

A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two shining eyes at rest.
God broke my heart to prove,
He only takes the best.
God knows you had to leave me,
But you did not go alone.
For part of me went with you
The day he took you home.

Our time together was short, you were such a comfort to me when we lost Wanka Tate 4 months earlier. You knew the pain I felt and comforted me everyday and night. Now God, has called you home too to be with Wanka Tate.

Even when you were a kitten you slept on my lap you needed to be close to me and be loved. When we cared for other kittens, you accepted them as if they are your own. I miss you, now only time can heal the pain I feel again.

To know someone drove too fast down our street and hit you makes this all the harder to accept. I don't understand why you chose to cross the street. I know your brother figaro saw what happened, because he would not cross the street to come home after what happened to you.

To wake up and find you the way I did break's my heart, there was nothing I could do to help you. I picked you up and placed you in a bag and brought you into the house and placed you in the freezer. I called the vet and precious pets cemetery to make arrangements for cremation, so I can bring you home again to sit beside Wanka Tate on the special shelf we have.

Over the year with so much love and joy, I am lost without you, now you are gone, my handsome little man. I will place you in an urn, for when it's my turn you will be placed with me. While now all the other cats are sleeping, I hear you meowing as I am sitting hear writing this.

Skuttles, I love you, I will miss you coming in to my room meowing to go out in the morning, and sitting at the door when I come home from work, to come in.

Your cat family is sad too, your mom, brothers and sister all miss you, as much as your human family does. I can't stop crying, it hurts so much!

Together we will meet again, no more pain for us ever again! You will NEVER be forgotten and I will NEVER love another as much as I do you! Each of you is special in your own special way.

I lost a special friend today.
The kind you can't replace,
and looking at his empty bed
I still can see his face.

I know he's in a special place.
Our Lord has for such friends,
where meadows, fields & flowers
help make them strong and whole again.

I know he's watching over me.
He'll be with me when I cry,
so with one more kiss on his beloved head
I told my friend goodbye.

They say memories are golden.
Well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

Those we love remain with us,
For love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade,
because a loved one is gone...

Those we love can never be more than
a thought apart,For as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.

I guess the old saying is true!
Only the good die young!

Skuttles and Wanka Tate, now both in Heaven, waiting for me!
I love you both very much, and miss you dearly!
