We had a little life
Given to us from on high
A little, furry life
So small and black
We had a little life
Given to us from on high
That hissed and scratched
So fierce and burning bright
We had a little life
Given to us from on high
So fragile and small
Struggling to live each day
We had a little life
Given to us from on high
We had a little life
Who went back home to the sky
Little Shadow passed away. He wouldn’t eat, wouldn’t drink. He hurt so much all the time. He just lay down and though we tried to feed him through the eyedropper once more, he would not. We had him for such a short time and I am forever grateful for his fierce little life with us. By the time this post goes up, it will have been two months to the day since he passed on. His life was a miracle for he lived longer than he should have after his accident and for the month or so after the accident he was happy and playful before he suddenly wasn’t.
Cherish the time that you have, you don’t know how long it will be. Hold close the ones you love and tell them, in actions and in words, just how much they mean to you.
