Tonight is a sad night in our home. Our Twilla got sick today and is now missing. If you knew her you would believe as I do that she probably left to find a peaceful place to pass on.
This cutie little thing was a special kitty. The girls picked her out 2 years ago and she has been a joy of a kitty. Twilla is the most affectionate, gentle and loving cat I have ever known. And almost silent. She rarely meowes. We prayed for a kitty that would truly be the girls' and for the most part she was.
Twilla usually slept on the girls' bed at night and playfully checked in with us all day and night long. Today was a different story. It was clear from the moment we woke up and saw her that something was wrong. We are hoping for our girls that she will show up in the morning but we are trying to prepare them that it is highly possible she won't. I have had this dreaded feeling all day about her. We have searched for her but cannot find her and she never wandered too far from home. The farthest we have ever seen her was when she would follow us on walks. I have never seen that before. She would follow us for blocks and then stop and wait for us to come back and follow us home again. It was so cute.
Tonight has been hard on Emily especially. Both girls prayed sweet prayers for Twilla and finally have drifted off to sleep. If you think of them -- say a little prayer for Emily and Lindsey.
They feel so deeply and Twilla was the only pet they got to pick out and care for from a baby - she is truly special. Goodbye our little Twilla...
Oh how sad!! Pets just worm their ways into our hearts...
