Binky, our beloved tuxedo cat, we miss you so
much! We hated to have to let you go, but we know we did what was best for you.
You brightened our lives for 17 years, and saw us though the best and worst of
times. You fought off the nasal lymphoma with radiation, you lived with chronic
kidney failure, hyperthyroidism, inflammatory bowel disease, as well as losing
the sight of your right eye from the radiation treatments. You came through that
with such grace and dignity and love, always with love. Apparently the lymphoma
came back again in your chest. We had such hope for you up until the last day
when we saw the X-ray, and we knew what we had to do to help you one last time.
It was one of the hardest decisions we ever made. You're in our heart, you're in
our soul. We hope your best friend Tom, Crazy Mama, Papa, Kiki, Fonzi, McGee,
Little Mama, Sammi, Gigi and Lilli Honi will all be there to meet you at the
Rainbow Bridge. We long to see you all again.
With Love,
Jeff and Diane (Daddy and Mommy) and our 12 other babies.
For Binky
A long time ago I made you a promise
that when things got too hard, I'd send you to Thomas
Next to us both, he was your best friend
We saw him through tough times, you were there til his end
That was way back, in '92
Over four years ago, when he left you.
We clung to each other through your "bud's" loss
You helped me through it, we paid such a cost.
Now one week ago, we lost you too.
I can't remember what life is like without you.
We stuck together through thick and thin
Little Girl, Little Girl, won't you please let me in
Into your heart, into your soul
I have more pain inside me than one heart can hold
You're not on your "snug", or in your pink bed
Or under the covers to nuzzle my head
There's no one to feed every two hours
No one to talk to, and sit under my flowers.
The others are here, and how I love them too
But no one could ever replace "me and you".
You were the one, my buddy, my boss
The one even Kitten dared never to cross.
You fought off so much, and would never complain
And now I'm the one who must endure all the pain.
For a long time ago, I made you that promise...
Oh how I long to be with you and Thomas.
Diane (Mommy)
Binky was the perfect cat. She was our "Little Girl".
