My Lily

May 24, 1996 - Sept. 4, 2008
What a wonderful gift you have been!

It seems like only yesterday that you arrived and stole my heart & soul!

You were as big as a minute, and larger then life!
Your eyes were as deep and bottomless as the oceans.
All you knew how to do was purr.
I was told your name should have been 'Joy' because that is how you felt, but to me, you will always be 'my Lily'.
You were my pride & joy, and oh, how I adored you! You were my true 'heart cat'.

You had an opinion on everything, and a force to be reckoned with! You were 'THE QUEEN".

Lily, you truly were 1 in a million!

You lived your life on your terms only, and you lived it with relish!

You were born with grace, dignity, and intelligence beyond your years, and I loved you so!

You were my constant, my best friend, you shared every crisis, large and small.

You taught me unconditional love.

I loved you well, and now my heart is truely broken.

We had 12 short years together, where did the time go? I cannot believe I will never see your incredible eyes, filled with love and devotion again.

My dearest Lily, I loved you totally, and will miss you dreadfully!

In my mind, I see you young again, running with abandon, that special twinkle in your eyes, causing all sorts of mischief which you were so good at!

My very special Lily.
