Rest in Peace Little One

[hkellick]

At 10:10 PM on November 13, 2001, Merlin "Hot Stuff" Kellick died. He was only about four months old. We had had him for near three weeks.
Cause of death: massive trauma to his abdomen and organs inside. He was stepped on... by me.

malytwotails once said that when little kittens die they go to a place where dead children went and entertained them and made them smile. Something about over the rainbow.. I don't remember all the details. I pray that that is true. That little hot stuff is somewhere making someone else as happy as he made us when he was here.

I'm so upset I can't even begin to describe it. I can't put words to my sorrow.
I know I can't blame myself.. accidents happen.. but in some way I do.. I killed him... and even though he'll forgive me (the vet swears he never knew what had happened) and you'll all forgive me, I'm not sure I can forgive myself.

I can't think of much else to say but this..
Rest in Peace, Hot Stuff... you weren't here very long, but you brought alot of joy into our lives and we loved you. Thank you for that.

I'm sorry LITE. *snugs* But yes, he will be alright. And it's called Rainbow Bridge. A really nice concept if you ask me...I believe in it.

It *IS* a nice concept.
I'm not sure I believe in it, but only because I believe in reincarnation.
By now, he may be a whole new kitten or... something else.

Heh, I believe in reincarnation too...I just believe that in optional reincarnation. So those animals that don't want to come back wait for their people to come. :)
