Brenda,
You say it so well:) I cry every time I read this. I give thanks throughout the year that I am still a part of such a warm caring compassionate group and I'm even more grateful during the holidays.
To all: I hope you and your kits and other critters have a warm, safe and healthy holiday season!!!

Hi All......
I wrote this tribute to all feline leukemia kitties in December, 2000. It is still as true today as it was then. For all who don't know eating cheesecake means a cure has been found for Feline Leukemia. One of the long term listers wrote an email several years ago and said "when they find a cure for this disease, we will all eat cheesecake."
My family sends all of your families the very best for happiness and health for humans and furbabies alike this holiday season.
The Best of Us
a tribute....by Brenda K. Smith
He holds their sick bodies
The creator of man
In his gentle, loving hands
As only He can.
We question their existence
How can they survive
Why were they created
S! hould they be alive?
What is their purpose
Their short life on earth
Are they angels to guide us
To grant us our worth?
Do they teach us great lessons
Have our lives been enriched
Are these little creatures
Our wise teachers in this?
They leave us far richer
Than when they began
Our lives touched so deeply
These small companions of man.
We seek the great wisdom
From the Holy Spirit above
Why has He brought us
These little angels to love.
We may never know
The answers we seek
Why these tiny bodies
Endure such pain until weak.
Upon this birthday of Christ
We are blessed from above
By these angels of light
Who have taught us such love.
Their presence forever
Will abide in our hearts
The souls of these beings
From us will not part.
Some day there'll be joy
Part of His master plan
No more sickness to endure
A well and full life span.
Soon our tears will be dried
Our sorrow will abate
The cure WILL be found
And we will eat cheesecake!-- Brenda..... http://www.whiskersandwicks.com http://www.cheqnet.net/~bksmith "The only risk you ever run in befriending a cat is enriching yourself." - Colette Don't Take Your Organs To Heaven. Heaven Knows We Need Them Here.
