1 Year Ago Today... :( (Video)

[manda_moo87]

It was exactly 1 year ago today...
That my sweet baby boy, Perkins, was put to sleep.

My Dearest Perkins,

I can't believe that its been a whole year since I last saw you and held you in my arms. Words will never be able to describe how much I miss you baby boy. As I sit here, with tears streaming down my face, I remember all the good times I had with you, and how thankful I am that you came into my life. Thank you for sending me Squeek and Misty, you knew how lonely I was not having a cat around... they have been such a help in easing the pain of your loss.

You were taken from us much, much too soon. We all wish you could have been with us so many years more. You brought so much joy into our lives, laughter and tears.

Sending all my love to you my sweet Perkies. Love you always.

Hugs and Kisses
-Manda-

I created this poem shortly after Perkins' death. I've posted it before, but here it is again.

As the sun shines brightly through the door,
I expect to see you all sprawled out on the floor.
But then I remember that you?re not here,
And only wish I could hold you near.

No matter how hard I try,
It's still so hard not to cry.
Although you're gone you?re still in my heart,
Of which you will always remain a great part.

As days pass by and the seasons go,
I still always am missing you so.
Though I know your in better place
How I miss seeing your sweet face.

I still think back to that tragic day,
All was somber and so gray.
Making the decision to have you leave,
Was so hard to imagine and still I grieve.

When saying goodbye I held you tight,
Trying not to be sad with all my might.
I told you how I would try to stay strong,
Then I sung you your special song.

I stayed there with you til the end,
Doing my best to be a good friend.
Again and again I told you I loved you,
Until I was no longer in your view.

Now your above and look down at me,
No longer in pain just happy and free.
I hope one day our paths may meet.
And you'll be there waiting to greet.

Perkins
