I still have your blanket strewn with a few soft white hairs. Walking past a window where you used to sit is painful. The light in the apartment seems much greyer and the silence, the absence, is crushing.
Mutual understanding, respect and love. What more can any two living things crave or need? You were the most gentle, innocent and trusting of animals. You were a balm, a tonic to everyday troubles. Just being close to you calmed and comforted me. What you gave so honestly and generously is irreplaceable, and it was a privilege to be close to you, even for such a bitterly brief time.
You were cherished. I wish I could have done more.
Sleep peacefully,
