Mini Gray

Mini Gray (Pal), 08/24/97

I never would have thought way back in 1992 that you and me would have ever gotton so close. I remember the night you were born like it was yesterday... along with your three brothers. You four was the sweetest little kittens ever, I'm sure of that. We kept you and Mini Min and gave Noiro and Greyzoo to mom. I know Mini min and me were tight. Very tight. All the way up to his disappearance. We knew foul play was involved but we couldn't prove it. We looked for him for two years with no luck. In that time, you and I became great friends. You became my PAL. :) You helped me get over the loss of your brother and also gave me new hope and a brighter future. You didn't even try. It just came naturally. You were so good tome. So responsive. So emotional. A real Pal for sure. And ever since then, I knew and you did too, that we would be pals for life. And we were. I'm so sorry that I couldn't protect you from that car. It was an accident the driver said, and I guess I have to believe that. You were just a victim of bad timing. We came to your rescue very quickly. I was there by your side in less than a minute I think. I told you it was going to be alright. I remember you acknowledged me by lifting your head and looking at me. That took such strength and courage from you. I tried so hard to get you to the hospital in time... but I let you down on that. She told me that even if I got there one minute before, that things would not have been much better. You had massive internal wounds and I couldn't see all the problems you were dealing with. When I took you home, Evelyn was in such a sad state. She was glad to see you once again, but she, as I, was very sad that you didn't make it. We were feeling so guilty - we've all worked so hard to be the great family we were. I'm sorry it took so long to drive to Blue Sea, but I knew you would love to be at the edge of the Lake. When we said our final goodbyes to you and laid you to rest, a Lune could be heard singing to you from the lake. It was really very fitting being as you liked music so much... or at least never complained to me when I blasted the stuff around you. Your life has given Evelyn and I and your other feline friends so much. You have inspired me to think more... do more... love as much as I can... and you've also taught me that the love we shared was as real as love could ever get. You've enriched my life a million times over in those short 4 1/2 years. You have given me something I could never get anywhere else... you gave me your love, trust and companionship. And that love trust and companionship will live in me forever. I know you know I loved you too. I know it cause you told me so. Not in words, but just by being you. Don't be afraid now Pal its all going to be OK. I promise you. I hope you found Mini Min by now. I know he needs you to be there with him and I know you will be happy to be with him. Evelyn and I and your other feline partners will all join you someday. And I know you will not have to wait long to see us again. It might seem a bit long, but really its a short wait. I better let you move on now. I don't really want to say goodbye, so how about just goodnight. One more thing Mini Gray... We love you
