RIP Lucky
My feline brother past this morning. It was a very sad time. My human sister was sitting on the floor crying. She loved him very much. They were together for 18 years. Mum ran back and forth between Lucky and my human sister. I wanted to help make her feel better but mum pushed me out of the way and hugged her tight with tears rolling down both their faces. I dedicate this poem to my human sister.
When tomorrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me
I’m right here inside your heart.

My human brother wrote his own poem too with the hope to help make her feel better.
Lucky Sir Lucky had quite a lucky life
Our arrival at the pet pick-up was greeted with delight
He came home with a family but first had a stop
At the hospital where Zoe was given a shot
Onward bound and onward home
Where many adventures await
He was never alone
For his companions stayed near
And then came a new friend
Who is it, let me see
And out of the gloom appeared Nala
Who Lucky hissed at to show that he was angry
Over time they grew close
Lucky biting Nala’s neck
Trying to get through her fur coat
With Nala rolling her eyes saying “what in the heck”
Lucky’s a traveler!
From coast to coast
He puts on his sunglasses
Grabs his martini and coat
Off on the plane, he went to live with pops
Decided Utah wasn’t his thing
And called a new shot
To return to the East
To finally defeat
His old friend, his old foe, the beast
Only when he arrived
A tear met his eye
Nala was not there
Nala was not in sight
But Lucky had Zoe!
The best of best friends
He’s been on the internet!
Through Snapchat with friends
Lucky and Zoe were pals
Hanging out every night
He grew skinny and meowed
But was happy and snuggled tight
Now Lucky has moved on
Oh what a life he has lived
He’s had the best friends and family
But never any kids!
Raise up a glass
Hold it strong and high
Cheers to YOU Lucky!
As you look down on us from the sky
We miss you!
Rest in Peace Sweet Baby Boy, Lucky! XOXO
