Rest in Peace, Frannie

I decided to put my selfish needs aside and let Frannie go. I was told that I would know when it would be time and when I woke up this morning I knew way down in the pit of my stomach that it was time. Luke made the appointment and I felt a huge wave of guilt and despair. I prayed that God would give me a sign that I was doing the right thing. I received one when I got home. I could not find her anywhere. I called my Mom and she said that that was my sign. I eventually found her in the spare room under my sewing table, she did not come when I called. We took her to the vet and we stayed with her to the very end. We buried her at my friend Marie's who is also a lover of cats. This is really hard and the house is very empty. I am really, really sad. But, she is no longer in pain and I believe that God has a special place in Heaven reserved for our lost pets. She was always there when I needed her and she saw me through some real tough times, she is my Angel Kitty. Someday I will see her again. I found this poem on a website called Rainbow Bridge and it is how I will honor my Frannie.

God Bless Our Pets
They say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane, I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
