Dara
was a faithful companion and devoted friend who never left our side for the
past 17 years. She was ornery. Always found herself in impossible situations
but somehow managed to find her way out of them. She loved playing with her
catnip mice and laser dot. Jumping up on countertops, nightstands, vanities and
tables was her way of having fun and driving us to distraction. We adopted her
and her sister 17 years ago on our way to buy a toilet. There was a sign on the
road pointing to a house that said, FREE KITTENS. We fell in love instantly. I
thought we would just get one, but my hubby insisted we take two. Our hearts
were filled by their unconditional love. In recent days, Dara went blind and
just couldn't adjust to her new normal. And day by day her health deteriorated.
Her sister Mira, I and my hubby were with her as she took her last breath and
passed into this new realm. We know Dara is now at peace. She will be missed
MORE than you can possibly imagine. Our hearts are broken but we know she will
be running and jumping free of suffering now. We love you little Dara. You were
a good girl. The best ever.
It’s been a year since you passed and we are still getting used to our lives without you. Without all your shenanigans. I wanted you to know you are forever in our hearts Dara. And today, I wanted to honor your memory, with just a few words. We are thinking about you. Your spirit lives on … And we treasure all the memories. Love you sweetie.
