Dear Sandee, We lost our beloved Raphael today, the sad part was, it was my son who found him .. Raphael wasn't sick and in fact had his usual morning of being spoiled with craisins and love, but if he could say something to my son, I am sure he would tell him this... we love you and miss you very much Raphy! Dear Sandee Night before last mom tucked us in bed and I was feeling great, I even managed to steal everyone's craisins who did not eat them quick enough. This morning mom woke us to let us out for play and I was my usual grumpy self, that is until I got my morning ear scratch. At lunch time, while mom went grocery shopping, dad played with all of us and I had a great time. When my non-fuzzy brother got home from school, he went into the kitchen and found that I had drifted off to asleep - forever. I feel bad because he found me and I could not tell him I was ok, but just in a different place. He is only eight and it hit him hard. He thought he had done something to hurt me, but he did not. I had a great day, a great life with my hoomans, really I did, but it was simply my time to go to the Rainbow Bridge. I have a brother there, his name is Bear, and I am really looking forward to seeing him. So Sandee, could you please tell Bear I am on my way, and please let Kenny know, I am going to be just fine. Dooks, Raphael P.S. I love you too Bee [Posted in FML issue 4253]
