her head tucked
under the
curve of her paw
she snuggled
one last time
into her
blanket
her
butterfly breath barely audible
she sighed
her soft and
gentle spirit
padded away
into night’s silence

Godspeed to your dear kitty. No matter how many times we go through the loss of a four-legged family member, it never, ever becomes less painful. Neither does it stop us from willingly signing up to go through it all over again.
