yeah.. I guess so. thank you ((medusa)).

and everyone too. I was able to stop tearing before finish reading all of your gentle words. no they won't take him back but I am able to not feel the pain for a little bit... it has been hard in past few days, no more of his wide meowings, tripping over him over his demands for handloves and say oh no, you did not.. after his guilty looks for chewing holes in blankets. that drove me nuts but now this did me in.

I tried so hard and everything yet he had to go. after I took a last look at his littlest meow and green eyes looking up at me so sad, I swear I felt his last breath with my hand holding his side laying curled up warm in my laps right before taking my eyes off the road at him again, he slept peacefully... simply went gone. long gone. I pulled off, held him in my arms sobbing my heaf off and told him I'd accept that.. (hardly). and go on find my miles. it was even harder watching him going gone.

this very same thing happened to my miles almost two years ago.. they both made decision for me before I could decide the best for them, purred a goodbye with their dazing eyes. suddenly and unknownly. locke has been and had taken over miles' duty as a meow starter that everyone else would sing along with him - always telling me when it's breakfast or dinner time, at a specific time - he wouldn't wait. I mis that the most, he starts my days well.. it has been unbelievably quiet and so empty around here. the feeling over miles' death is still so fresh and I already miss my silver baby dearly.. ok, I better stop now.

sterling locke sir, you were so young when you left us, crossed the colors of brdge.. I got so excited when you turned a year old a month ago beacuse of what happened, your rough start, being in the car on roadtrip without really knowing nearly any of us and with the result we found of your broken cllarbone, I was so sure you'd be around with us for many more years.. (here, this is your last thread of your first birthday). and because we could and have had shared this special, unconditional love.. oh I love you and so miss you my little locky boy.

a few last of you.. my beauboy.

Dear Sterling Locke
