What a beautiful story! Well told and obviously from the heart. Meowko. What a sweet name. She is running free over the rainbow bridge. There is an American Indian legend that says the stars are windows in heaven that our loved ones look through to keep an eye on us. Meowko has her own window now and is watching you, waiting for the time you will join her.
