To Dorein -

 

Thank you for many years of love, laughter, warmth and

the best cuddles!

 

Our lives are colder and sadder already. But most of all,

thank you for teaching Samuel all that is wonderful about Cats...

 

 His big grey friend is already being missed as Samuel roams

the house searching at everyone of your sleeping places...

 

Sleep well my beloved friend....

I asked my (fantastic!) Dad if he could, and would like to,

build Samuel a Pedal Car or such, form his "Grampy" so he

can enjoy it, and maybe pass it onto his kids?

 

Dad elaborated on this idea, and said "Typical Rumney style" can

we upgrade this idea and make it electric?

 

We thought long and hard and decided that if you can get a 12V

plastic car in ToysRus, then why not? (Dad was thinking BIG at this

point though so we set on the idea of "altering" a broken Mobility

scooter etc?

 

He said "Leave it to me, I have some odds and ends I can use

and I will make him something!..."

 

The below photo "Build Diary" speaks volumes!

 

(I love my talented and wonderful Dad!!)

 

The first of hopefully SOME sunny days in 2013 was a great excuse for

Samuel and I to take to the garden. he is not long ONE, so I am keen for him

to get outside and play in the mud, splash water, and enjoy nature!

 

He has been anxious about the outside since he fell in the snow, but today

put on his "Big Boy Pants" and sucked up his courage!.....We had a lovely day finding

empty snail shells and collecting them up, splashing in some warm water

I put in a bowl, eating an ice lolly as part of our "Picnic" and just enjoying each

others company.

 

He has been a delight ALL day. I may feel poorly, but his light and love made it

all go away for a day....

 

Thank you my beloved boy ! X
