| Back when I first started visiting California and I met Anastasia - she immediately stole my heart (and if you cannot figure out why from just her image you have issues). She was the perfect California-Converted version of my Crystal complete with fluffy tail! If I were to give Crystal a dye job you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between them - right down to the Sassy-" I don't take no shit " attitude my gal is notorious for. It is with a very heavy heart that I must relay that Anastasia, Beloved Kit of Rick and Ross has passed over the Rainbow Bridge due to a battle with Mammary Cancer. She was a trooper, indeed you wouldn't have known at all that she even carried the cancer she was so nonchalant about it. And much like my Sasha (who also passed from the cancer) she lived and loved until the very end. Anastasia was blessed with being able to pass at home and drifted off into a sweet sleep of release and for that I bow to Rick and Ross - I wanted to do that for my kit and never was allowed that opportunity. Back when Sasha passed, a friend sent me a special poem that I included in her memorial area. I also am including it here as my special memorial for a most special Kit that held a dear place in my soul. Our hearts and thoughts are with you both Rick and Ross now and always. ~Webmistress Kit~ |
| When This Battle Can't Be Won
"If It Should Be" If it should be I grow frail and weak And pain prevents my peaceful sleep. Then you must do what must be done When this last battle can't be won. You will be sad, I understand. Selfishness might stay your hand. But on this day, more than the rest, Your love and friendship take the test. We've had so many happy years That what's to come can hold no fears. You'd not want me to suffer, so When the time comes, please let me go. Take me where my needs they'll tend. Only--stay with me until the end. Hold me firm and speak to me. Until my eyes no longer see. I know, in time, you too will see It is a kindness that you do for me. Although my tail it's last has waved, From pain and suffering I've been saved. Do not grieve it should be you. Who must decide this thing to do. We've been so close, we two, these years... Don't let your heart hold any tears. Author Unknown |
