RIP Morgan (2002 - 2017)

This morning we said good-bye to my handsome boy, Morgan.

He was diagnosed with stomach cancer in November and the vet said he had a couple weeks.  He lived another four months.  We took it day-by-day and every day was a gift.

He was asthmatic and diabetic ... he was a tough kitty and we'll miss him.

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.

I'm very sorry to hear about Morgan, Teena. What a tough time you all must have had in the past while; I'm glad any pain he had has ended and I wish you all well in your adjusting and coping now, in the wake of your loss.
