This is Dude he crossed the rainbow bridge last night.

Dude was a neighborhood cat, my wife more or less kidnapped him, his people moved away and left him. He was 14-16 I don't remember when he first came here, he preferred our yard and spent a lot of time here. I don't know where he went on really cold days and nights but he wanted to be outside, he would come in for a while, then ask to go back out.

Things went on like this until my wife went into the nursing home, then he came in to live with me and my two, we made a contract he and me. I knew he was getting old, so I became a nursing home for him and he's spent the last three years with me. Then I got sick and he got sick, last night he said goodbye.

I'm not going to mourn over him much, he had a good life and was his own cat, if there is such a thing as reincarnation, then I want to come back as a cat like him. Good night Dude sleep well.

When you make room in your heart for such a small creature, it seems to leave a huge hole when they pass.
