sometimes the right decision…
is always the hardest. My dearest friend in the world, had to make that decision.. and having been in her place before, I know it was probably one of the most painful she will have to ever make. I’ve spent the last few days, looking for something.. that did Hopper justice.. But nothing really quite fit. All I can think of, is how much.. he changed over the years.. changing from a shy kitty, to one that would spend time with the family. There was nothing more heartwarming, then watching him “hug” Bryan, or give you one the coveted headbutts. There was nothing more adorable than watching him drink from the sink, or look up at you with those huge green eyes, flopped over ear.. and give you a great big meow. Be good where ever you are little guy, and remember you are always in our hearts.
From the silence of your pain I heard my name
and on the wings of light I have come
to see the sadness in your eyes
that cry without tears
Can you see me, I am here
I will always be near you
to calm your shattered heart
and to make you smile at the memories
Do you feel me, perhaps a soft brush of fur
You ache to believe it’s real
but you are afraid to hope
You brush away a strand of hair
But it was I, whispering…..
I am only here for but a moment
The silver thread gently quivers
I will leave behind my love in a dream
When you awaken, and without really knowing why
Your heart will know at last
That it is all right, for now
to say good-bye

I’m not gonna cry. I’m not gonna cry. I’m not.
Too late…
