Len,
I had a gray tabby cat that died, when she was 14 years of age. Her name was Butchie. A strange name for
a girl cat, but I thought she was male when she was a kitten. The name stuck, even though I found out that
she was a he. I dearly loved her, and when she died, I was devastated. I laid in bed one night and poured
my heart out to God. I heard an audible voice that said. " I will give you the desires of your heart.
You will see Butchie again."
When I heard this, a peace went through me. My heart leaped with joy. I knew without a shadow of a doubt,
that I  would see my sweet little kitty in heaven when I got there.
God knows what we love, and what will make us happy. Heaven is a happy place. If we have a favorite pet, then
it will be there waiting for us.
