Dear Madison~

What a big, beautiful, long haired earthly boy you were, Mattie, so much kitty to love, and more beautiful still, having earned your angel wings; your loving spirit now lighting up the heavens there at the Rainbow Bridge.

We are so thankful to your family for opening up their home and hearts to such a special boy, providing you with the happiest and most loving of homes after such a sad start at life. How blessed they were to have known your joyful antics, your love and devotion, your companionship those wonderful 10 years, though for we humans, no amount of years is time enough.

My heart breaks for your family, knowing the pain of no longer having you there by their side, sweetheart. For a pet parent, there is no greater pain than having to say goodbye...for now. But I hope knowing that one day you and they will be together again brings them some comfort. Until that happy day of reunion, send down your love to comfort them, Mattie. They miss you so very, very much.

To Mattie's family~Thank you for sharing your beautiful boy with us, some of your cherished memories and photos, giving us a chance to honor him here today. He truly was one big hearted, gentle giant, and the joy, love and laughter he brought to your lives those precious 10 years, a gift to cherish forever.

So, so beautiful...
