Good bye my Slipper Cat

You were loved so very much dear boy. My heart is so heavy with grief I cannot tell you how much I love you..loved you.
You were extrodinary. So beautiful. So loving and warm. I don't know why anyone would have discarded you when you had so much more to offer. I am so glad that the stars were aligned that day when we first met. I guess that is what they call the right time..right place.
You caused me some serious upset in the beginning. You were not fond of me at all...I guess that is what makes you that much more special...because we did break that barrier together..didn't we.
I am not sure really what happened. I don't know whether I missed something. I hope that my decision for you was the right one as I wanted for you to have the best of the best. Mom loved you for only one month. But let me tell you what you gave her..
You gave her love again. You opened her heart to fill a void after the passing of her two babes within the year. Though she said no more...she wanted to have you. You left too fast..but you gave my parents laughter and love. I am so ever grateful to you for that. Your light shone again as I believe you were always the Healer, and not the other way around. I am so pleased that mom held you at home late in the night. I am so glad that you were not alone and went with love.
I pray my little man that God has a magnificant plan for you. I wish to kiss you one more time. Please sweet man..wait for me at the bridge when my time comes, because I will need your light once more.
I love you Slipper Cat. I wish you so much love and peace.
Thank you for being with me over the years.
Love forever..Mom.XXX

No animals could ask for more than the love that you would give them my friend. I'm sure you missed nothing. Slipper Cat's purpose for being here was obviously filled and I'm certain that there is a larger plan in place for him. He's probably coming back to fill someone else's life with love in another form now. You will meet again. Cherish the memories of your loved one.

Now how much more suited could your tribute to a very special cat be than that? to you my very dear friend.
Riza Go find your spot under a tree. Heck, go climb that tree. Wait for Mommy to come meet you again.

What a fitting farewell to a Healer Benmax.

That deep well of sadness, loneliness and loss is a measure of the mountain of blessings and treasured life-lessons Riza has and will continue to give to you and yours for all time.

BM, although I read about Riza in the tjt, I am just seeing this thread now.

What a beautiful post to Riza and I hope the sadness you and your mom are feeling is soon replaced by all the wonderful memories you have of him.


Beloved Riza
