In Memory Of George
*******************Written October 31**************************************
On this day, when most are blindly dressing up in costumes and going out to seek candy, we are sitting here with tears in our eyes, and a heaviness upon our hearts!!
Our Beloved George died this morning, of unknown cause. He was a darling cat, as I’m sure you can see by the picture. Megan’s darling, as he slept with her EVERY night, without fail, no matter where she slept, he would find her. It is sweet memories we have of him. Chasing his tail and romping through the house, but most of all was the endearing bond he had with Megan.
As some of you know, he was taken to the VET earlier this week to have surgery done on one of his eyes. He came home Wednesday, and other than being just a bit tired from the surgery, he acted completely fine. Even last night, he seemed to be fine. This morning I woke up and noticed that he was not with Meg, and so I went searching for him. I found him laying in our laundry room. I couldn’t even tell if he was breathing, but upon looking closer, found he was breathing. We rushed him to the VET, where he died acouple of hours later.
We do not know what happened, we only know that we miss him dearly, and his passing has left a hole in our hearts and an emptiness in our house. It is small comfort to know that he is with God. He is not in pain anymore, for that we are thankful, though we ourselves are in pain because of his heavenly assent.
It is times like these that I wonder if God’s clock is working right..Yes, I do mean that as a joke. Here in this world I can not see why God chose to take George, as I think we’ve had enough to deal with lately…but there is the popular saying “God’s timing is not alway ours”. I hold my daughter and dry her tears as my own fall, and I tell her that God had a reason, even though it hurts us, and even though we don’t know the reason, God did have a reason. George is in a better place now.
Goodbye my dear George, we will miss you always!

Aww… I am sorry for Megan. I know how it is to lose a kitty. We all do. We have lost several in the past few years. It is always tragic to their best friends especially.
