Today I woke up and had a few more precious minutes with Piper. She passed away at about 5:00pm mst. She was a wonderful cat. She was loving. She always harrassed anyone who walked in the door. She loved people.
It all happened very fast. She died peacefully at home with me right next to her. I am very devestated. People think they are only pets. They are more then that. She was like my baby. She loved me no matter what, and I felt the same about her.
My step-mom came over to take me back to her house so Piper could be buried underneath a new tree they planted. When I picked her up right after she passed away I sobbed. She was beautiful, and brought such joy to my life. I couldn't bury her. I tried, but I couldn't put her in that hole. My Dad finally took her from me, and placed her so that it looked like she was just sleeping.
I miss you Piper. You were the first. I am glad that I looked in the newspaper that day. I am glad I decided an older cat would be better for me. Everyone who came over couldn't help but love you.
Sadly I will remember that she passed away today. Today is my Mom's and Grandma's birthday.
