Oakee 1992-2008

I miss her beyond words.  Oakee, my companion and best friend of 16 years passed away on Saturday. 

Prepared, I was not.  When I awoke Saturday am, I never thought in a million years that my baby would take her last breath in my arms later that evening. 

We made the heart wrenching decision to allow her to pass in dignity and grace.  I'm grateful I was able to hold her as she crossed over. I can only hope this gave her a sense of comfort. I hope she has nothing but fond memories of her time spent with me. 

She's been with me through the best of times and the worst of times.  By my side always, extending her paw to touch me when I was feeling down.  Curling up in my lap as I read cuz she wanted to be close.  Sprawling out on my chest when she she was an itty-bitty kitten...sprawling out on my chest when she was 16, thinking she was still an itty-bitty kitten.  Walking across my keyboard when she wanted my attention.  Head butting me when she was feeling affectionate.  Just a few things I'll miss.  I wish I could have had another 16 years with her.

I know that she'll always be with me.  She's left an everlasting imprint on my heart, she's part of me. I know that I am part of her.

 There will never be another quite like my Oakee.  I miss you and love you.

She is with you and always will be... in your heart and your memories. And she is now your 'angel' watching from above.
