Dear Alabama,

When you were born your momma was very sick and she brought you to me the night that she died. She wanted me to take care of you and you were only 3 weeks old. I didn't know what to do, but somehow you let me feed you with a bottle and everyday I washed you and cuddled you. You were my baby. We spent 4 years together. We had a special language. I miss seeing you in the window, on your pet bed, in the stairway, in the flower bed. You were everywhere and now it's very lonely. I miss your cute little walk, your little voice in the night when you ate your crunchies. It's very quiet now. I don't know why you had cancer. We think it's the pet food that made you sick. I couldn't put you to sleep like the vet wanted. I had to bring you home and I prayed for a miracle. You hung on for 2 more weeks. You did it for us. We hope that you did not suffer my sweetheart. My heart was broken when I found you there lifeless. I will never forget you. I love you forever. Please watch over me and forgive me for your pain.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Your Alabama was such a beautiful cat. I know there are no words to comfort you right now, just know that we are here for you and we truly do understand how you feel. it has been over 4 months since I lost my girl Alley and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss her and wish she was still here with me.

Hang in there. It does get better in time.

Oh Alabama was just beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss, so young too. It's just so hard to lose them.

Thinking of you and Alabama

I'm crying reading this..it's so sad but so beautiful. What a serene photo. I'm so glad you shared it with us. Please hang in there...

Thank you for the heartfelt comments. I feel blessed to have found this place where I can share my feelings about my beloved Alabama. Others would laugh at me for feeling this way. He died on April 4th and he is currently in a little coffin under a pile of snow. The ground is still frozen and I hate that he's still out there all alone. It's just so painful. I've been reading many stories in here and last night I cried for a whole hour. I couldn't take it any more. It's just so strange that I don't get emotional like this when I read about people passing away. Animals are just so real. Nothing fake about them. They don't lie, cheat or steal from you. They are the best thing God ever created.

Just wanted so say how sorry I am about your Beloved Alabama. He reminds me of our Garfield sitting in the window. It's hard to believe he's been gone almost two years now. I live in Alabama so I must say I love the name . How'd he get his name?
You and Alabama are in my thoughts and prayers,
Blessings
Steve

My dear sweet Alabama, Today is the 1st anniversary of the day you left us. It has been such a struggle without you my love. Mom, Mark and I have cried, but I miss you most. Just the thought of you brings tears to my eyes. I wish I could hold you in my arms again. You have a beautiful little son named Mississippi. He was a miracle child. He looks a lot like you and he has a lot of spunk, but he doesn't have your tenderness. You will always be my baby and I will never forget you. Stay watchful over me. I kiss you.

That was all so beautiful, I know how you miss Alabama, you were blessed to have him
for only a short while whereas he was blessed to have your love all his life. Take care and may life's many rewards be yours, you deserve the best because you gave all that you could, your own best. Alabama's love will forever be with you.

Such sweet sorrow. As you think of Alabama on this first anniversary of his death I hope you are able to feel the happiness you and he shared. The bond you and Alabama made together is strong and can never be broken. Though you will miss him always, he is in your heart forever.

As Alabama is sure to watch over you from heaven, you can bet he trusts you implicitly to watch over his miracle son, Mississippi, here on earth. What a beautiful gift he left for you to love and cherish. Perhaps Mississippi's tenderness will come in time. One thing is for sure, he will develop his own little personality and looks in a very unique way. There are never two alike and that's what makes them all so special.

The picture of Alabama in the window is quite striking. He looks as though he is in very deep thought. I also noticed the beautiful view Alabama has from that window and I can see why he liked to lay there, who wouldn't?

Savor your memories on this special day. You and Alabama were so blessed to have had such a special binding love together. That love will keep you both connected now and til the end of time.

what a wonderful tribute for your sweet angel Alabama
feeling with you

Alabama is absolutely beautiful. I wish you peace on this first year mark. I am happy to see that you can see some of Alabama in his son. My thoughts are with you.
