Sadden Hearts

~~Ginger~~

Cradle in Jaiden`s arms
Touching,Holding,Hoping with all our Hearts,
Please little one pull through..................

Ginger felt colder than usual,
then stopped eating......we watched you carefully
then raced you to the vets........
I was told to bottle feed you your only chance
late at night just couldn`t feed you
so I left you with your family for the night
coming in all through the night checking on you
I just could not sleep............
knowing life was slipping away from within you
morning came I tried feeding you again
then later again and disaster happened
we stayed with you and held you close
as your journey here ended
and our hearts broke................
with deepest saddness we said goodbye
as you closed your eyes.............oh ginger...........
the tears flowing down our faces
the saddness you had gone
so short two weeks old
we all were looking forward
to watching you first walk,
playing with you
and sharing life together................
Now we cradle you with life gone from within you
and knowing your time has ended
we return you to the earth
with crystals,love hearts made for you,
your pom pom ball we made you
cover you with flowers,leaves earth & water
we place you close by
Our Hearts So Sad You Have Gone...
we say a special prayer together
hands & hearts joined...............
For your safe journey for where you have gone
we look at ginger megs and the other kittens
and there is a great big something missing without YOU
it will never be the same.....
You were the sunshine.............
Why did this happen you were so strong
then in a flash you were gone forever
never to be again.............
I was there when you were born
with love I greeted you.................
I was there when you left
and with love I surrounded you............
Now the cat nest feels so empty
you are not there.......................
I still ask WHY?........................

Died 29th October in our arms........


The strength & courage the children have
as we grieve with loss and sorrow
our sweet little Ginger..................



Ginger was the cat Jaiden felt closes to and had named......................
he asked for him to hold and Ginger died in his arms
such a special sweet soul is Jaiden...................
I have the deepest reverence and respect for you Jaiden
Thankyou for being here & being You.............
