MIDNIGHT HOGUE
And God asked the feline spirit
Are you coming then? asked God.
But don't they understand? asked God
Eventually they will understand,
Dear Lord, please open your gates
Assign him to a place of honor,
Bless the hands that send him to you,
Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.
Let him remember me as well
Thank you Lord,
And thank you, Lord,
~It's difficult at such a time
Midnight Hogue is dearly missed by his
~May it comfort you to know

Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
for you see, they need me, quite certainly.
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed
It just is....forever and ever and ever.
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

and call St Francis
to come escort this special companion
across the Rainbow Bridge.
for he has been a faithful companion
and we have always done our best to please him.
for they are doing so in love and compassion,
freeing him from pain and suffering.
Help me remember the details of his life,
with the love he has shown me.
And grant me the courage to honor him
by sharing those memories with others.
and let him, know that I will always love him.
And when it's time to pass over into your paradise
please allow him to accompany those
who will bring me and his siblings home.
for the gift of his companionship
and for the time we've had together.
for granting me the strength
to give him to you now.
Amen
To find the words that say
The things that one can only hope
Will comfort you today,
But may it help a bit to know
That there are near at hand
Those who keep you
Close in thought,
Those who understand~
Siblings, Luverboy and Charlie.
Along with the rest of his family

His human kits, Breanna and Mason, &

is home at the Rainbow Bridge
