Your Pet Tributes

'Samantha'

I still remember coming home from High School and finding your Mum (a stray cat who adopted us) in the box we gave her with you and your Sister already wriggling around. Your third Sister and only Brother came later and it was one of the best days of my life.

I was so glad we kept the four of you - The Kittens. It was an honour being a part of your life. You have such a sweet personality and was always so quite. Until dinner time. Then you were always the first following us around. You were also the only one who could open the screen door.

Oh Sam. I still don't understand what happened. One evening you didn't eat, then the next evening, after seeing the vet in the morning you were dying when I got home from placement. A rushed trip to the vet and all he could do was put you to sleep. It was all so fast and such a shock.

I keep thinking I should have known you were sick earlier - you wouldn't have suffered and you would still be here. As hard as I try and as much as I wish, I know I can't change what happened. I am so sorry.

I miss you so much. I keep looking in the bedroom and expecting to see you sleeping on the pillow or burrowed under the covers - but you are not there.

I am keeping a close watch on your Brother and Sisters - as I am sure you are too. Poor Tyler I have hardly let him out of my sight.

I love you Sam. I would give anything to give you another hug and kiss my girl. Enjoy your pillow in the sky my love. You will forever be in our hearts my beautiful girl.
