My Dearest Sherman,

I am not sure if I can even begin to express how much I loved you. You were my life & I thought about you constantly. I hated being away from you for even the shortest amount of time. I would rush home from work to see you because I missed you so much. No other cat or person has had an affect on me as much as you did. I loved everything about you. Your snurfles, crooked teeth, the way you sat with your paws pointing out. I will miss all of those things & so much more. I will mostly miss you sleeping with me. How some times you would want to get under the covers & snuggle up next to me. Or when you would sleep on the pillow next to me with your head resting on my hand.

I absolutely adored the way you would run down the steps in the morning when it was time for moist food. Your little run was so cute & if I stopped on the steps you would stop & look back up at me. Perhaps the cutest thing you would do was running from me after you would sneeze. You knew I was coming to snurfle you so you would run & hide…peeking out from the furniture.

I just wish so bad that you had felt better in your short, little life. You never really had a chance to play like a normal kitten. Your poor little body never felt good enough to play. But I do hope you know how much you were loved. Not just by me, but by Spencer, Vicki, & Annette. You were such a special & entertaining little guy it was hard for anybody not to love you.

I had never before come across such a sweet cat. You had the best demeanor & such a joy to have around. Everybody that come in contact with always would comment on how sweet you were.

I hope I did everything I possibly could to make your life enjoyable. And that I did everything at the end to help you live. I am just so, so sorry we were not able to pull you through the toughest of times. I would have given up everything I have in the world if you could have survived. I hope we are able to find out what took you from me.

My life was not the same while you were alive & will not be the same since you are gone. You brought me so much happiness & I hope I did the same in return. Again, even though your life was short I hope you know how much you were loved. It will be hard to get over you, but I will. However, I will NEVER forget you.

 

Love,
Sherman
