To My Sweet Little Abigail Lee.


I'm so sorry you got sick, little girl. We didn't want to see you suffer any more, and so now you rest with the angels in heaven. 9 years ago I found you in the video store. The crazy cat lady of Kasson was trying to find you a home, and I felt a connection to you instantly. We brought you home and made you a beloved part of our family. Since that day you have been loved and cared for. Babby, you had a very good life. I'm so glad I got to be there to give you pets and kisses, to let you explore the great outdoors and to see you sleeping soundly on the blanket atop my bed when I came home from school. I loved finding you on your cat mat in the living room, quietly passing time. I always knew you wanted a good scratch behind your ears and under your chin. You remember that scratch, the one that made your back foot thump and your eyes roll up towards the ceiling. Oh I'm going to miss giving you those scratches. You know, one of my favorite things was coming upstairs, when I was staying at home with mom and dad, to find you snuggled up with your papa purring and getting your pets for the night. I know that Dad loved that time with you. It was your special time together and you both loved it more than the other knows. Abby, you were such a beautiful cat. I will forever hear your little half hearted meow whenever I look at the place in the kitchen where "your" bowl was. I love how you couldn't eat from any other bowl, just yours. you silly little girl.



Biddy is really going to miss you. You were her best friend and her sister. She'll be lonely for a while, but don't worry. Mama will take care of her and tell her why you went away. They'll miss you a lot, but Lilly and Izzy still have each other. They will be ok.


There are so many things I wish I could have told you before you went away. But know that you are with God now. Jesus and the angles will pet you and kiss you and love you just the way we did down here on Earth. Be at peace my sweet baby girl. I will see you again someday, when I join you and Sophie and Leo in heaven. I promise to think of you often and continue to love you, forever and ever.

Goodbye, Abigail Lee. I love you.

Mama, she'll visit you in your dreams like Sophie still does to me sometimes. She won't forget the live you and dad gave her. She was blessed to have a family full of love and understanding of her unique personality! She's got a beautiful place to rest and be free of pain now. It's ok now. SHE'S ok now. you did what you knew what right, out of love for her. She won't suffer anymore and she loves you for that. Love you Mama. xo
