Dear, beautiful Jet!

What a privilege it is to make your acquaintance, sweetheart, to have the chance to honor you for a life well lived, for 13 amazing years of selfless devotion to others, human and furry! I admit, your story, your heart wrenching photos (especially the one of you posing so proudly with your 2009 Volunteer Calgary Animal Volunteer of the Year award), had me in tears. You've touched so many lives over your 17 years, and no one more profoundly than your Mommy, who is truly blessed to have been touched by your unconditional love and devoted companionship these many years. As she says, you truly are one in a MILLION, and the healing, the joy and laughs and smiles you have brought to so many over the course of your service, a priceless gift. A very special place in heaven has been reserved for you, Jet, though I have a feeling your work on this earth is far from done!

Enjoy your much deserved day of honor, beautiful boy, celebrating with your proud Mommy, your kitty and doggie sibs, and all of your countless adoring friends and fans! I'm so sorry Jasper is not there to celebrate with you in person, but no doubt he's looking down from the Rainbow Bridge, so proud to see his brother being honored here today!
Much love and gentle cuddles to you beautiful Jet, Cat of a Lifetime!
