Wallace
(April 2008 - July 21st, 2017) Born in Gainesville FL - Passed in Gainesville FL For (aprox) 9 years 3 months, you graced this world with your presence and love. From the time that you were just a small kitten while we were anxiously awaiting you to grow enough to be adopted, to the few destructive times (you know things like destroying your catnip toy the very same day you got it – even though it was almost as big as you),to the immediate connection with Thadieus (the black and white cat), to the love of being held and bounced, to enduring meows on the drive when we moved from Florida to Arizona (and back again), to you trying to play with scorpions that got into the house – let alone the geckos you loved to hunt when we moved back to Florida, to the love of sleeping in our arms like a little baby while going mmmm mmmm (or laying between our legs and using our leg as a pillow) and just wanting to be close, to licking our noses (and hands, etc)… I mean giving us nose kisses with your abrasive tongue, to waking us up at 5 to 5:30 AM for breakfast – let alone wanting to be picked up and taken to breakfast with special cat food and cat treats, to your constant sitting by the water bowl in request for fresh water (even though it was just replaced only a few minutes before), to always greeting us when we came home, to standing on your hind legs wanting to be picked up, to greeting everyone who came to the house, up to and after the time you drew in your last breath. I hope you can forgive me for not being there when you did... part of me wanted to be to let you know you weren't abandoned and loved up to the end, but part of me didn't want to face the (visual) reality of losing you so soon, even though I knew the reality, I just couldn't face it... I hope you didn't feel abandoned in your final moments. What I wouldn't give to be able to hold you and love on you again. You were loved from the moment we saw you and will be loved forever. I hope we gave your short life lots of love, attention, and anything you could ask for ... and I hope that your short life was filled with anything you could have asked for... You are dearly missed.... R.I.P. my beautiful blue eyed baby boy (July 21st, 2017) |
