Mr Jinx


1/1/?? - 11/3/21

Dear Jinx,

This is how I want to remember you.
Strong,
healthy,
a big lovable teddy bear, like 16 pounds lovable.
***
Yesterday I had to make that call none of us wants to make.
Mr Jinx went on his final vet visit, and oh my
even in the state he was in,
he let me know how unhappy this 
made him.
***
I haven't spoken much about Mr Jinx's health
struggles, and now it doesn't really matter.
He let me know yesterday he was tired of fighting.
I was going to let him dictate to me when he
wanted to call it, and on Tuesday he
began giving me signs. By Wednesday, it was
clear, even though I didn't want to hear it.
***
As time goes on I will do more tributes to him,
he was just a good cat.
A great cat
***.
You ran your final race
and you made it to the finish line.
I hope your Dad gave you a big hug
when you got there.
***
I'll miss you
and for all my failings I hope you forgive me,
things haven't been easy for me or you
the last year.

love you always,
Mom
