Nonie by K.H. / K

Nonie,

You brought me so much joy, for so long. From the time you were born, into my hands, to yesterday, when I saw you curled up, so cute, on the couch, and didn’t know
you were dead.

I remember when you were a baby, so tiny, and sat in the palm of my hand. You were always so wild, yet so sweet and cuddly. I will forever miss cuddling with you in my lap. I still expect to see you lay beside me at night, by my head, as you did for so many years.

You were quite a character. Mischievous, fun, a practical joker. You made me laugh, every day, and I adored seeing you bask in the sun, by the window, in your favorite spot. I wish I knew you were sick, so that I might see you laying there again, today.

I’ll miss your greetings, the way you talked to me, and how you loved to play–with anything. I miss holding you, and I’d do anything to be able to do so again.

There’s so much I could say about my dear little boy….

I love you, Nonie, and I miss you.

 

Thank you,
