Muffin by Kym / Mommy

Dearest Muffin,

Today the vet called. You didn’t make it through your surgery. She cried, she said, “I know how much you loved him.” Well intentioned words. But no; she could never know how much I loved you. Daddy and I will never be able to have children of our own. You (and your brothers and sisters) are our babies. In my heart I know that you’re better off now,
and not suffering.

I will miss you, and miss you deeply already. Daddy said that it would be okay to get a memorial tile in your name to display at the animal shelter. Then, maybe everyone will understand a little better just how much you were loved. Four months with you was not nearly long enough. Daddy said that because you were such a good soul you must’ve been needed very much elsewhere.
I know you had a good life.

Mommy did everything she could, Muffy. I will never forget you and my life will never be the same. “See you in the next life, when we are both cats.”

 

With Love Eternal,
Muffin
