Today is now the 12th December 2004. 3 days on now. Yesterday I went out skydiving. I didn't have the emotional stability to jump, so sat and watch the boy's jump instead.

When I arrived at the DZ (Drop Zone), Kate, the co-owner of the skydiving business, presented me with a Poem with a photo of Seth on top of it. The poem is called;

"CATBED IN THE SKY".

"I thought you might like to know, I got 'here' safe and sound,
Though you must feel rather strange not having me around.
Of course, I'm am not really gone, I've just moved out of sight,
And I don't need that old body, things had stopped working right.

Sometime's I'm sorely tempted, to pop back down and see,
Just how you are managing without, any help from me.
But I'm sure, that you will understand, I can't come back to stay,
Though I have on good authority, that we will meet again some day.

The chow where I am is delicious! - Ambrosia Brand! - it's called,
Once you've tasted this stuff, Friskies won't ever taste the same.
And where do they get this nector from? Which flows thick and creamy comes,
It's not like other dairy products, cos' it don't give you the runs!

I haven't found a litter tray, and THIS perplexes me,
That however much I wolf down, I never have to PEE!
But there are other plus points, which cannot be ignored,
My claws have all come back again and there's drapes here to be clawed!

Oh yes, - I've a comfy bed, just like mine down there at home,
So things here are quite adequate, I cannot gripe or groan;
But while I'm up here waiting, in my catbed in the sky,
I'll regularly look in on you, and keep a watchful eye.

Love Seth. xx

You can imagine how I was by the time I read that! Thank you so much Katie xx

That poem made me smile

Oh this poem made me both laugh and cry and I am so thankful one day we will see them again. That was a very moving thing the co-owner did with the poem and the picture. How wonderful to have the comfort of good friends and to know we are not alone.
