Sweet Boy Cadillac, It is one year ago today that we helped you feel well again. I wrote you a poem after you left to try to help me get through. I hope you like it. I love you and miss you everyday! Thank you… When I first took you home you were hurt, skinny and sick. It didn’t take me long; it was love at first lick. To me you were my shadow, my healer, my smile. The remorse I feel for promises not fulfilled will last for quite awhile. There were walks never taken, tennis balls I never threw. I would have slowed down our life, if I only knew. To you I made the stars sparkle, I was the light of the moon. I wasn’t prepared; the cancer took you far too soon. You are now in a different home; of this I have no choice. Your passing has taught me a lesson; it helped me find my voice. Our separation has given me a new focus, now I’m not so hurried. And, I will help spread the word of hope; it will be slow, but don’t be worried. Though memories fade a bit with time & too soon become the past. Please know that I will always be grateful sweet baby, my love for you will forever last.
