Beautiful tribute, Frank. I’m sending my consolations to you, for what it’s worth.

[BruceysMom]

I’m weeping for you and with you. You you have my prayers.

Leo Haiku





I chose My Human
carefully. It was not a
whim as you can see

I could see in his
eyes that My Human is both
most gentle and wise

He made a gift of his
Forever Home. One from which
I shall never roam

Everthing loomed
so large and tall compared to
this curious ball

Of fluff, who has grown
into a handsome Cat. There's
nothing wrong with that

My Human has lots
of friends. Giving me Rubs that
never seem to end

My Human and I
have a routine even when
I am rarely seen

I rear my head up
once in a while. It's nice to
see My Human smile!

Friendship and time are
what I have to share. Given
freely without care

Age may cause a lack
of speed. My Human cares for
whatever I need

My Human thinks, but does
not know that now is the time
that I have to go

I'll be remembered
in My Human's heart. A bond
that will never part

Thank you. Very beautifully said, very beautiful truth.

[franksolich]

Thank you, sir; it flatters me overmuch, but it says a great deal about Leo himself.

It’s wonderful.
