We are sad for you, and for your loss at the time. We know know know how much you will miss your Murphy. He was, if you think of it, such a noble boy, to have so many different things going wrong, but to never let on. He made you happy as long as he could, didn't he? And he will live on, you know he will, curled up in a kitty-shaped spot in your heart, ready to purr whenever you need him.

Murphy now, curled up
In a beam of sunshine, rests
And sends you his love.

Sorry he was, but
Knew he had to leave, just then
Before the hurt swelled

All orange kitties
Will remind you of Murphy
With a quick, rogue wink

And from where he rests
He watches, sleeps, then pounces!
On a long-lost toy.
