It is dark and chilly but I can feel your warm arms around me and your moist cheek against mine. I can hear your heartbeat and your whispering voice assuring me that it will be all right and that it is okay to leave you. I do not want to leave and I am afraid. I did my best, Mom, to stay with you and I know your did your best to keep me comfortable and loved. Maybe I just need more time...one more day, maybe two, just to be sure. If I had just one more chance, I know I could be healthy and find my way back home. If only your love could sustain me, I could live on forever. It is just not fair. I am just a baby, but I know deep inside my little heart, that I can hold on no longer. It is brightening a bit. It is misty and warm. I think I will be okay here, but I am not quite sure. It is all so new like when we became a family. Remember, I was scared and you were too. But, a little kitty voice told me it was going to be great. And it was. It was awesome! You picked me and I picked you. We did not choose this other place for me. I do not understand it, but I know we cannot change it, no matter how hard we try. I would never want to change how we spent every day together. You love me and I love you. We were meant to be. I know you did everything you could for me and I hope I made you proud. I did my very best to show you how much I love you. But who will be by your side and follow you everywhere you go, like I did? Who will be sad when you leave and wait patiently for your return, like I did? Who will make you laugh and always love you unconditionally, like I did? I know you cannot see me anymore, but I promise to visit you in your thoughts and dreams. We can be together then. If you see a shadow, it will be me following you. If you feel a breeze on a still day, it will be me galloping towards you and brushing up against you. If you see a silhouette in the window, it will be me waiting for you to return. I will always be with you and you will always be with me. I left paw prints on your heart and I will forever feel your kisses on my head and your warm arms around me. I will forever feel the belly rubs knowing that I was loved and everything would always be all right. Eskimo kisses, Mom, I will always feel our eskimo kisses. It is getting brighter now and I can see the colors of the rainbow above the mist. I found it, Mom. I found the Rainbow Bridge. I am okay now. The bridge is steep but I am stronger than I have ever been. I can climb miles high now. You would be so proud. It is far away but I just know I can get there. Tell Daddy and Bobby that I made it. Tell Bobby when the lights in his room blink faster and brighter than ever, it will be me playing tricks on him. Tell Daddy I will be sitting quietly on his desk waiting for him to come home and watch golf. I will be the shadows chasing the little white balls and the breeze blowing the flags. If the squirrels suddenly scatter and run as fast as they can, it will be me chasing them. I knew I would get my chance to do that one day. The sky here is the brightest of blue, to match my eyes. There are big green trees that sway in the warm breeze. The grass feels so soft between my pink toes. There are so many of us here. We are all free of pain and sickness. We can run and play forever. I think I can be happy here. I cannot come home anymore, but I will be forever in your heart and you in mine. You can let go now, just as I did. Till we meet again, I will always love you and be by your side. Paws, purrs and nose bumps. Later alligator. Much later.
