My Kitten by Lori

Well my baby

You were too young to go so quickly. You didn’t even get to see or hear the world yet. Your mother was so proud of you her only kitten. She follows me around because I think that she thinks I have you. It breaks my heart. You’ve only been gone since this morning but this day was so hard for me and the other cats. Everyone is lost.

You were going to be my sunshine. I knew it from the moment I held your tiny body in my hands trying to let you get used to my smell so that you would love me forever. My parents tried to get me another kitten but I don’t want another kitten. I want you. I only knew you for 4 days but those 4 days were some of my happiest.

I just wanted to say I am sorry for not protecting you better. I am so sorry I let you leave before we even gave you a name. We don’t even know if you were a boy or girl. I am so sorry. I would’ve given you a great home but I hope you are happy where you are now. I miss you so much. I feel like there is a hole in my stomach and my heart. I wish you were here again.

Love Always

Lori
