Tears for a dear friend

What should have been a day of celebration turned out to be a day of heart ache for my family and me. I was on my way to work and I asked my son Richard to check and see if he could see my cat, Tigereye, as he hadn’t been around to be fed. He was always so noisy and I had missed him this morning.
Richard checked and found him dead on the pavement, he had been knocked down by a car. We were devistated as he was so beautiful and full of life.
He was my shadow and a lot of comfort to me when I lost my dad. I know he is only a cat but he was part of this family and will be greatly missed by all of us.

I can see him now sitting on my dad’s lap milking the attention he is getting as my dad loved cats, and if he is with you dad, please take care of him, he was special just like you were to me.

Goodbye dear friend, thankyou for your loyalty and all the great memories you have given me, you will always be with me, I love you x
