How can I possibly put into words what you meant to me? I was just 9 years old when you came into my life, and now, at 25, I’ve had to say goodbye. For 16 years, you were my constant—through every change, every challenge, every moment of growing up. No matter what life brought, you were always there.
I miss waking up to the warmth of you curled up at my legs. I miss walking through the door and seeing you there, waiting to greet me. I miss our snuggles—the way you always seemed to know when I needed you. You had such a big personality, so full of life and love, that it never felt like you were just a cat. You were family. You were, and still are, a piece of my heart.
I don’t know what life will look like without you, my boy. But if love could have kept you here forever, you would never have left. Just know that I love you, forever and always.
