In memory of Vanessa

Our sweetest daughter and beloved sister, deeply missed forever. 2010–15.06.25 I remember the day I brought you home from the shelter; I was 10 years old, and you were my first ever pet. You were perfect from your smudge nose to your little white toes, so beautiful inside and out. I was so enthralled by you that I could never fathom a day where you would no longer be by our side. We had seen almost 13 long, happy years with you, but no matter how long it was it would have never been enough. We watched as oral cancer slowly took your health and strength from you, but it could never take your love, kindness and sweet little soul. You purred and fought bravely up to the very end of it all. You couldn’t stand the thought of leaving us just as much as we couldn’t bear to lose you. You had done all you could, and we had to allow you to rest.  I think of you every single day, and I will for the rest of my life. There will never be another like you. We love you, our sweet Ness.
