My darling BamBam, as well prepared as I thought I was, I still can hardly believe that you are gone from me. When you were first diagnosed with CRF, I thought I was going to lose you in a matter of months. That was a year and a half ago. I didn't realize then how stubborn, brave and determined you were. I watched and waited for you to tell me you wanted to go, and when you finally did, my world came apart. I guess you knew it would. You always knew everything. ![]() ![]() This beautiful memorial gift was made by our friend Kat.

It came right in And hesitated, and spread out there To cover the same old carpet spot. "Where is BamBam?" It seemed to say, "The soft old cat who came to meet me, To lie in my bright warmth every day? The door was closed when my heat was great All summer, and I have missed her. I've waited and saved my nicest rays, The ones that came in and kissed her. Where is BamBam? I've spread out wide And couldn't find her." and how I cried. I knelt in your sunbeam, remembering, And spoke to the sunshine, "BamBam died." You are so loved and so missed, my girl, By me in the numbness of summer days, By your child Mewsette in her quiet grief, By all who had known your gentle ways. See how the sunbeam comes and mourns, Dimming the brightness of its rays. This evening the sun had gone away, Crossing the heavens of red-orange hue, Made dimmer by what it found today, It carries my letter of love to you. ![]() Please visit: Tribute by her Mom Memorial by Mewsette Her Memorial Service from CLAW Her Life Quilt Kitty Angels Quilt The Catique Memorial Page ![]() |
