Spike was the first cat ever adopted and brought into my life. We was a gift for my wife at the time, but he turned into a gift for me. We bonded right from the beginning and that bond only grew stronger. Spike was my best friend. He would listen to me and give me comfort when I needed it. He knew I needed him more than he needed me and made sure he was there for me. Not a day goes by I don't think about him and our time together. His sandpaper tongues kisses and kneeding paws will never be forgotten. What I wouldn't do to feel them again. I wasn't there at the end for him and only pray he knows how much I loved him and how much he meant to me. I hope he knows he lives in my heart forever. I miss you buddy and hope to see you again one day. I dream of that day we can be together again and I can carry you over the Rainbow Bridge together forever.

All my love and heart to you my Spikey.
