In Appreciation of Ollie

Our cat of 15 years, Ollie died on a Thursday evening. He was with my husband, Rick and I. We watched him go into the Spirit world. It was gentle and peaceful. He did not seem to have any pain. Rick and I cried allot. Rick and I were both up most of the night. Our cats were our children and Ollie was the first to go. We buried him in the yard Friday evening just before a great thunderstorm.

Knowing Ollie was a beautiful experience. I am so glad that I had taken the time that Thursday to really connect with him. We snuggled in the morning, he was happy to see me when I got home from Boulder, and died peacefully with Rick and I petting him and telling him that he was loved. I have no regrets about his last day. He ran with joy, in the sun in the morning and died peacefully at the end of the day, knowing that he was loved.

Ollie was a faithful and beloved companion and protector. Rick and I will cherish his Spirit and that Spirit will always be with us in love and protection.It reminds me of how important that it is to live life to the full and find joy in the moment.

Thank-you Ollie for teaching us so much and helping us to feel so much gratitude for having you in our lives. Thank-you God for letting Ollie be in our lives. Thank-you for his life and the way that he died. Thank-you God for it all.

Blessings...Zoilita
