Icecube you were not exactly my pet but I saw you everyday

for the past 6 1/2 years.

You were my friend who gave me love unconditionally.

I am sorry that I did not do more for you.

I should have taken you to the vet myself when I first noticed

that you started drinking more water but I didn’t have them money

and I was not your owner (not that I blame your owner).

I am so sorry that you had to suffer seizures like you did at the end.

I wish that I could have saved you from the pain without

having to let you go but that was out of my hands.

God must have wanted another angel in heaven.

I should have spent more time with you.

I should have savored every time you came up to me just to get love

and rub your face against mine and gave me kisses.

I will miss how you used to run into the room whenever anyone was

yelling to tell them that you wanted them to stop.

It stopped many arguments.

Thank you.

As I walk around the house where you used to live

I can’t help but miss you more and more everyday.

I find myself turning on the bathroom sink to give you water

because that’s the only place that you would drink from.

I miss you running up to me around 6:00 because you

knew it was dinner time.

I miss you following me around the house just because you

wanted to spend time with me and lay with me.

I miss talking to you when I am upset because you always

knew the right moment to come in and give me love when

no one else would.

I miss playing “flashlight” with you.

I miss your constantly running to the front door to try and

get out to eat grass anytime you knew someone

was going to the door.

I miss giving you treats (since I rarely got to do that – and

now I wish I would have given you more).

There are so many more things that I miss about you that I just

can’t think to mention right now.

I just wanted to thank you for all the love that you gave me

and I just hope and pray that you know all that you

truly meant to me.

I hope that I expressed it enough in life.

I know that I have lost a great friend and love and

I will miss you everyday for the rest of my life.

Thank you for all that you gave me.

I love and miss you.
