Goodnight my friend,
Mi amigo, mi compadre...
For 18 years you have been a member of this family.
I guess you could say, I joined your family, when I married your
Mom, 5 years ago...
A Golden Tabby, with Golden eyes !
You took a few days to get used to, and I guess it took 5 years for you
to get used to me.
But through it all, we were the best of friends... Amigos !!
Wes found you 18 years ago, in a sewer at the corner of Atlantic and
Wilton, well thats the story I tell...
He stretched his leg down and you climbed up his leg...
you took to each other instantly and were christened, Ralph Palicki.
We say August 16th, 1989.
I met you when I fell in love with your mom Margie, in 2002.
I heard so much about you, I asked if I could meet you.
Well, I wanted to meet you both, and the rest is History...
I watched you get bigger, and grayer, and I guess we both gained a couple
pounds since then.
Every morning when we opened the bedroom door, there you sat...
Tomorrow, I will probably shed another tear, because you won't be there.
But youre in a better place. We've talked about Kitty-Heaven for years, and for years
you proved us wrong. 9 Lives, hmmm, youve been through alot.
And seen alot... Your last years were spent inside, forgive me...
I didnt want to lose you. But now, your gone, we know where your at
and someday we'll see you again.
I always said you missed that day when they taught the other kittens,
about kitty-heaven. I guess you were the rebellious one, with the chain- wallet
and bandana around your head. I miss you already, dear friend and its only been since noon.
I'm sorry for the times I stepped on your tail late at night.
And when we went on long vacation trips and you had to stay home alone.
And cried for days when we got back, We love you ole boy !!
And we'll miss you.
Till we meet again... Mom, Chalo, Wes ,Allen & Mariah.
