I am new to the network, and I don't really know what catagory to put this under, but I'll just send this out to all of us fuzzy owners who have ever lost one of our beloved little critters way too soon. A Prayer for Felix...The Last Wish We ask of you let him stay but just a while He's much too young to go Seems like only yesterday [we smile] That we just brought him home The carefree days of summer with the rompings in the yard to hiding toys, and car rides out to Grandma and Grandpa's house Theres so much more to show him Please can't we keep him just a while he's only just a baby right now and we just can't say GOODBYE But too soon we realize with heavy hearts and tears in our eyes we must say goodbye We ask of you Please take him quickly now We wish that he could stay but it would hurt him too much to keep him here and that we could not bare I hope he knows we loved him and how much he'll be missed I hope he heard us tell him I hope he felt our kiss We hope that where you're going there is no more hurt or pain We hope you find the others they know you're on your way We loved you so much you know Things will never be the same ........................... I woke up and couldn't find you I looked everywhere I checked the wood house and the basement too and realized you weren't there I ran and asked Mom and Dad and they said you'd gone away They told me you were very sick and that's why you wouldn't play I'll miss having you to sleep with and play with thats for sure Mom cries alot now and I think I understand But she told me where you are now there are two others just like us I can't wait to meet them it sounds like lots of fun She said there is lots of toys there and lots and lots of treats They'll show you new games to play and new places for hide and seek Take care my big brother I miss you very much Please look for me when my time comes I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH ........................ I ask of you Please tell them I loved them very much I never ment for them this hurt But I had to say GOODBYE Yes I had a good life I wish I could have stayed I miss our daily showers and Snowball's warm embrace I know how much they loved me and how hard they tried I heard every word they said Even how hard they cried I knew when they were holding me and that I really miss I know they wished my pain would end And yes I felt their kiss I ask of you Please tell them All my pain is gone And yes, I've found the others and we all play around They told me all about their life the places and things they did and they told me how much they loved you both and Grandma and Grandpa too Tell Snowball I miss her and loved her very much And yes I will look for her so she will not get lost But I ask of you Please tell them this last important thing I could never have had parents More Loving and Careing As Them ...In Loving Memory of: FELIX 6/90-2/91 PODO 7/86-8/87 KODO 7/86-2/90 SNOWBALL 6/90-4/94 I thank you for taking the time to read this, I realize it got rather long so I will sign off for now Sincerely, Linda Boulis [Posted in FML issue 0849]
