Dearest Curious,
I loved you so much from the day I met you. I was only 9 years old (now 26)and our cousin found you at the Greenwood mall parking lot. I thank God that he gave you to me to care for. I knew from the beginning you were very special and I thought you were so very very beautiful. I loved to rub your precious white tummy!
You came to live with me because my parents were going through a divorce and my mother thought my sister and would appreciate loving a cat. You’ve been there through every event of my life. I don’t remember a time coming home without you there greeting me. I appreciate your love and companionship with all my heart.
Sometimes I don’t know how I’ll make it without you. You were not a pet or animal to me, you were my best friend. You were the only one I told every secret to, and would hold every time I cried, was sick or sad.
My life was not very easy at times but you’re love was always there. I don’t know how you knew when I needed you, but you did. When your dad proposed to me he tied the engagement ring around your collar and you walked right up to me. You’ve given me and my family so many memories and you’ve loved my family because I loved them.
You taught me so much about love, compassion, and dignity. It was so difficult to see you the last day and to put you to sleep forever. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do but I hope I did it right.
I pray that I gave you everything you needed because deserved every good thing in this world. I thank you for coming into my life, for I would not be the same person with out you. I also thank my cousin, my mother and my uncle (who was your vet) for all their love and kindness in bringing you into my life and for caring for you so well. I hope that you are okay in heaven where you are and I hope I get to hold you again someday. Even though we had 17 1/2 years together it doesn’t seem nearly long enough.
May God take care of you, scratch your tummy, scratch behind your ears, and hold you tightly until I see you again. I will love you, cry for you, and remember you every day.
