Rest In Peace Dear Pantufa

01.06.2009 ~ 19.10.2013

Pantufa, my 14 year old cat has been put to sleep today, after beating cancer during 16 months. It was one of the hardest decisions of my life ... I just can't stop crying! My family and I are going to miss her terribly…


IF IT SHOULD BE

If it should be that I grow weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,

Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle cannot be won.

You will be sad I understand,
Don't let grief then stay your hand.

For this day more than all the rest,
Your love for me must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears,

You'd not want me to suffer so,
The time has come to let me go.

Take me where my need they'll tend,
And please stay with me until the end.

Hold me firm and speak to me.
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time that you will see,
The kindness that you did for me.

Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.

Please do not grieve it must be you,
Who has this painful thing to do,

We've been so close, we two, these years
Don't let your heart hold back its tears.

For I am now in a better place,
And will be waiting to see your happy face.

So when you cross that final bridge,
Look for me...
I'll be standing next to the fridge.

My thoughts are with you. As a sufferer of CRPS I wish they allowed this for humans.

Всегда больно терять своих домашних животных с которыми прожили не один год.... Но заводя животное мы должны понимать, что скорее всего переживем его, от чего становится еще больнее.

I'm so sorry. I had to have my Mimosa put to sleep on the 14th. I miss her terribly.
