More than anything else in the world, I wish that you
were here, singing to the birds and talking to me. The love you gave was
accepted graciously. I miss you butting me in the night for a cuddle, one
of your funny little ways. We never imagined life without you in it, I
always thought you would be there with us. We would never had let you go,
but we had to and it broke my heart. When they brought you in to see us
for the last time, you purred, even though you were in pain.
I am really sorry that I was in such a mess that day, Elkie told me to
be calm for you so your passage would be nice.
I tried Sykie, but it hurt so much to see you leaving us, you should never
have left us so soon. I can imagine you at Rainbow Bridge, chasing the
birds, something that you have never done, we protected you as much as
we could, but not enough.
See you at the Bridge.
Love always you human Mum Louise X
Sykie we want you to know,
It broke our hearts to let you go,
It was not easy for us to decide,
That you would no longer share our lives.
We hope that you are now at peace,
No more pain that you are free,
So much love we have for you,
We know that you loved us too.
A loving purr was your way,
You purred at us each and every day,
The mischievous little boy,
Our lives were given so much joy.
Zukie's heart is broken too,
She wanders around looking for you,
Wondering where you have gone,
Or is she just wondering "will he be long?"
The first time that you went away,
She pined for you every day,
Then when you finally came home,
She wasn't the same,
It was like "leave me alone".
She took it all out on you,
But would she have done so if she knew,
One day you would never come home,
That she really would be left alone.
You were all she had ever known,
The both of you together as one,
You were always so kind to her,
Holding her down, to wash her fur,
She is sad as are we,
But dear Sykie you are free.
Happy memories we have of you,
Of all the things you used to do,
And of all the games we used to play,
It was hide and seek where you won the day.
When we were told that you may die,
We just broke down and started to cry,
We were so sure they had it wrong,
Because you bounced back, you were so strong.
They tried so hard to make you right,
And you being you put up a brave fight,
Soon you were back at the vets again,
That same old feeling of your hurt and pain.
Again you bounced back, well initially,
You were happy to see us,
You were just lovely,
But as time passed by we could see,
That our happy union wasn't meant to be.
The first time round you were so strong,
But your pain didn't go away for long,
So we then had to decide,
To let you go with dignity and pride.
We wish so much that you were still here,
Being loving and giving with so much love to share,
The pain of losing you hurts so much,
Missing your purring and feeling your touch.
For over three years your gave so much pleasure,
And our love for you has no measure,
Our memories of you are so dear,
But they are not the same as having you here.
If only we could go back in time,
We would make sure you would be fine,
To keep you so safe and warm,
To make sure you came to no harm,
We tried so hard to get you right,
but it was an un-winable fight.
Never will we say goodbye,
Sykie in our hearts you will never die.
See you at Rainbow Bridge Sykie.
