Goodbye Friend

You were a wonderful friend for almost 14 years.

You used to love to sit on my lap in the mornings while I read my Bible, but you really loved to sit on my back and purr when I would pray. I think your favorite trick was climbing up onto my chest and placing your paws around my neck as if you were hugging me. Certainly, early mornings will not be the same without you.

You loved your red-headed little boy...

...now a man. And he loved you too.

We're so sad to see you go- but both we and the vet knew it was time. I think you did, too. Goodbye friend.
