For my beloved grandpa.

I wasn't planning on being here but I truly believe in the power of the purr and I need you my pals.
I need you to purr for my beloved grandpa.
He will be 98 years old tomorrow, February 8th 2012.
There is nothing much to celebrate; he is not doing well.
The other day he said to mom: "Call the doctor."
"What's wrong," she asked him. Do you know what he said?
"Tell him to come and give me an injection. I am so tired
I just want to die."
Mom put her arms around him and they cried together.

I am especially sad cause his decline started the day I left them.
I am sorry grandpa. I am sorry I can't be there so I can snuggle
with you. I am sorry my brothers are not your snuggle buddies.
I am sorry that you are so unhappy.
You are so weary; you just want to rest.
I wish I could help you...

I will fly by with my angel pals to sprinkle
angel dust on you.
I love you~
Always and forever,
Alfie

PS Absolutely no rosies please. I haven't even thanked you all for the lovely pressies you sent for my RB anniversary.

Two year have flown by.........

My precious Alfie,

Your mom actually had to double check the date. It seemed impossible that two years have flown by without you here.

What can your mom say that she hasn't said before?
I miss you. But I look at your pictures and I smile now.
I think of all the sweet things you used to do and I can even
laugh.

Just the same things will always be not quite right without
you. You see, you took a piece of your mom's heart with you.

It is such a gloomy day, we are having horrendous weather,
snow,freezing rain winds..it is difficult to be cheerful
but then something so sweet happened this morning.

Remember how every single morning, as you and Teddy ran side by
side towards the kitchen, Teddy in mid run would wrap his paws around your neck and try to stop you? He never could, you just
ran on.
I missed that and obviously
I never thought I would see Teddy to do that again. It was yours and his. You had such a great bond.

Then this morning of all mornings, Ollie was running beside Teddy. To my amazement, Teddy did it to Ollie.
Wrapped his paws around Ollie's neck. Big Ollie barely
broke his stride.
It was so lovely to see, your mom actually laughed.
I know some of your friends will say this was your doing.
You know what? I would love to believe that.
It also tells me that Teddy loves Ollie.
Your brothers are
happy together.That makes your mom content.

Until we meet again, my precious Alfie.
I love you always and Forever.

PS Speaking of Teddy, your mom has a whole bunch of pictures of you with baby Teddy. I will make a slide show today and put it on your page for your friends to see.
