Farewell to Moe

As you all know our family included a great character and friend named Moe. After nearly six years with us Jason and I said farewell to our little cat yesterday. In the end his giant personality could not overcome his frail little body. Fortunately he suffered little. We miss him dearly and words cannot describe the loss of such a great friend. Our thoughts are somewhat captured in the following poem:

They will not go quietly,
the cats who've shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survive.
Old habits still make us think
we hear a meow at the door.
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor.
Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.
And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts
belongs to them....
and always will.

We love you Moe. Mom & Dad.
