Once upon a time in heaven there was a tiny black kitten named, Shadow. God loved Shadow very much but Shadow wanted to come to earth and learn what it was like to be loved by a special human.
God said, "I can only let you go for a short time because I will miss you so much. Do you still want to go?"
"Yes, please!" Shadow's eyes glowed.

So he was born and came to live with Aly.

Way too soon God called him home.
"Well, Shadow. Did you find love? Was it worth it?"

Shadow purred and peeked over a cloud at his earth home, "Yes, Sir! I found tons of love! I think every kitten should experience such love!"

God and Shadow both smiled.
