My babygirl

Ok, so this is Silver. She was not originally mine. She was "the mom" and "the dad's" and their kids. They took me in when I dated their youngest son years ago. Silver and I took to one another right away. despite my allergies. Their son went off to boot camp and told Silver to take care of me. Well, she took that job very seriously. Even after we broke up, she still could not take good enough care of me or be close enough to my side. When I moved to my own place, it was hard on us both. Then Silver came to live with me at my place for a while. She was the cats meow, which was good cuz she was a cat, LOL, to be with me all to herself in "our" apartm,ent. She greeted me when I opened the door every day. She was sad when I left. She followed me everywhere after i came home from work until i sat and settled with dinner and she could lay as close to me as possible. She would sleep with me as close as her body could get to mine purring away reaching her paw up to my face. greeting me at dawn with a cold nose on my eyelids to see if i was really still sleeping or not because she wanted fresh food...... not stale stuff from last night. if i moved half an inch she'd leap off the bed to the kitchen......... only i didnt follow so she would be back to wake me! She warmed my heart deeper and farther than anyone or anything ever will again. And i hope i did the same for her. the couple mins before Dr Minor put her down, she was looking at Leo. She could not stand or walk. But Leo had something to say to her. So she got up and took a couple weak steps to him and i guess he told her its ok now, her job is done, she took care me and now he will take over he promises to. And she understood. She started purring. And when I held her and hugged her so close sobbing, she purred. But that was the hardest thing ever in life for me. Losing Silver and being without her almost 2 years in Dec has put a hole in my heart that is unreplaceable. It just sits there unfilled. The memories will always be there. But I miss her so very much. But I thank god she was in my life... she always will be my babgirl. The 12 years I knew her were the best of my life......
