Where have the years gone?
I was so tiny when you found me…..
I grew so fast…..
I’ve known nothing but love
My whole life long
I will one day leave you physically
But will ALWAYS be with you –
In your heart and soul –
Where memories live and love is FOREVER.
Love, Sammy
p.s. No worries my friends – I’m just fine!
I just wanted to write this today for my Mom –
“just because” !!

It’s good to be mindful of what’s around the corner. I know it’s inevitable but yet, I don’t want to go there. Time goes by much to fast where kitty love is concerned. One day, you’re picking them out of a pile of kittens, the next day it’s Happy 15th Birthday. All the love and snuggles make it worth it though. Here’s to many more healthy years Sammy-kins.
