I've Been Waiting
I'm sorry Mommy.
I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to stay with you. But Aunty Snowfur said it was time to go.
I didn't want to leave you. I wanted to be a warrior like you with Stonekit and Mistykit. I really wanted to be warm too.
I could see you grieving but I was always up here waiting for you. At least that's what my friends Nightkit and Mistkit said. I wished I could have told you that.
I really am sorry.
If only I was as strong as you, then I might have woken up from the nap in the snow.
But now you're here with me, Mommy!
Daddy came up here a long time ago. I was so happy when he came. And now you're here.
I can even show you all the places around here in Starclan! Just like you showed me and my siblings the camp when I was alive.
But please don't be sad. You were a great mother. And you were just trying to get me to a better place. It might not have been to Daddy, but I got to place where I would be happy and well fed.
So please be happy! I waited here so long just for you! Now you're smiling and telling me that you forgive me. And that she is proud to have a kit like me.
Let's go Mommy! Let's play in the river and chase leaves! You can even show me how to hunt! You did promise to teach me before I died! Now the smile is coming back to your face, and you tell me, "Then let's go. Your wait is finally over my little kit."
