My dear dear friend. A year has passed and I still cry thinking about you. At least there are more times now when I think of you and smile…
I remember our walks and how you loved the outdoors. Our conversations–you always had to have the final word!
I never thought of you as a pet. You were always a roommate an equal companion. As I evolved from adolescence into adulthood you were always there. Through all my difficult challenges (and I know I could be difficult at times!) you remained ever loyal.
I know I hurt you deeply when I adopted another cat when you were 14 years old. I will always regret that we lost our close bond then but I guess change is inevitable. Afterall I had just added a permanent human roommate my husband.
After you died I cried a lot. I made a scrapbook with your photos and I plastered your pictures everywhere: on coffee mugs refrigerator magnets keychains you name it. I just wanted to be surrounded by you.
Sometimes you come to me in my dreams. If I’m lucky I awake with the sound of your loud motor purring near my smile.
I hope you can remember the carefree days when we walked the golfcourse at night and napped together during the day. I know we’ll walk together again my friend. You are and will forever be my feline soulmate. No other being will ever surpass the bond we shared.
Until we meet again please try to forgive me and understand why I had to adopt the homeless kitten that I found. If it makes you feel any better I have since adopted another cat. We’re calling her Bossy and she’s making OJ’s life a living you know what!
I love you I miss you so much and I’ll always be your Mommy.
