The last line of a poem back in October.
Our proud, should I say imperious, Luigi.
With reincarnation at work
I do believe
Luigi was at least Tutankhamen.
If not, then Ramses the third.
It was just a week ago.
Suddenly as in a perfect storm
His royal highness was brought down.
His back legs crumpled
Like broken wooden sticks.
His eyes glazed over.
I thought I saw his tears.
Oh I know, “cats don’t cry.”
How do you know?
Now he stopped eating.
As if to say, “My race through the cat door is done.”
And then it was.
The Vet said, "He wants to leave.
Lets respect that.”
Kate and I cried.
A dear dear friend whose antics
Gave us so much joy.
Our home was his stage.
His grand entrance was always
A thunderous Meowww.
Oh we will miss you Luigi.
Not nearly as much as your brother Aldo,
Who searches endlessly
For his lost friend.

Dear Luigi,
We think about you often, your passing fills us with sadness. We sure did have fun with you even though you made it clear who was the boss. We miss you, take care.
Dear Luigi, Aldo, Roberto and Kate,
Damn, you little critter with the big soul for opening my heart and teaching me how to love.
Bless your furry covered heart for revealing what this journey is about.
Damn, for choosing to leave in these days of darkness when your light is ever so needed.
Bless your playful prowess for reminding me of my
strength.
And Luigi, may your travels be swift and show us quickly that you are close by.
keep cuddling each other,
kaima
