I'll Never Forget - For Alley, One Month Ago Today Options

[AlleysMama]

It was one month ago today that my Alley crossed the bridge. The tears never seem to be far off.

I'll never forget you Alley. You were such a tiny little fuzzball when you first came into my life. I'll never forget the way you slept with me that first night, burrowing up under my chin and into my heart. I'll never forget when you were just 3 months old and decided the fishing pole was a great toy.. until you got the fish hook through your little paw and had to go to the vet for the first time! You were so tiny and precious.

I'll never forget the way you used to try to catch mice, but never seemed to get the hang of it, until you were nearly six years old. You tried and tried but they always seemed to get away. How proud you were the day you finally figured it out, and brought mama home a chipmunk!

I'll never forget the way you used to pout when you would get mad at me for not petting you quite right. You'd storm off in a huff to the bathroom, moments later I'd hear the cabinet door under the sink slam shut behind you, like a little kid running to their room and slamming the door when they didn't get their way!

I'll never forget the way you used to get "stuck" on the roof. You climbed up the ladder just like a squirrel up a tree. When it was time to come down however, the ladder wasn't so easy. How many times did I climb up after you, trying to get down the ladder one handed, with your 13 pound body in the other hand!

I'll never forget the way you could curl up against me at night, your chin resting on my arm, yoru long fluffy tail swishing softly against me, purring loudly, well, lets face it, you snored more then you purred!

I'll never forget, the day I found out you were leaving me, and having to hear your sweet little voice for the last time over the phone. I'll never forget, not being able to be there with you at the end. I'll never forget, telling you goodbye.

Mama loves you Alley and my heart is broken and empty without you. Rest in Peace my angel. Someday, we will be together again.
