Panda Bear by Liz Cornish / Mama

I remember the night you were born. You were tiny – the runt of the litter. I fell in love with you the minute I saw you – you were the most beautiful kitten I’ve ever seen. I think I named you almost immediately too – Panda Bear fit you.

You’ve been gone for two weeks now and I have to face the reality that you’re never coming home. I miss you so much and I wish I knew where you were so I could take care of you. I guess that’s more to comfort me than you; I know you are in Heaven now and that God is taking care of you for me.

You were/are such a wonderful friend. You showed me such love – I will never forget that. I could be feeling down and then you’d come sit with me. I loved petting you and hearing you purr your contentment. You helped me through some very rough times and I will never, ever forget you for that.

Most people in my life have been crappy to me. I call very few people my friend. At times I’ve been lonely, but you were always there to help me over the rough spots. Thank you so much for all the love you gave me. I can’t believe just how much love we shared in a bit more than a year. I am so grateful for that though, more than you will ever know.

I have some more rough times ahead and I hope you will be able to send me strength to meet these challenges.

I hope you’ve met the rest of the crew and that you like them all. I hope to see you all again someday. I’ll have a special hug and kiss just for you Panda. Then we can be together for all time.

Until then you will live on in my heart, as well as in Devon’s and Tara’s hearts. I’ll think of you when I see those gorgeous sunsets I love. I’ll think of you when I gaze at the stars at night. I’ll think of you when I see a full moon. You are a star that will never set or burn out – you are pure joy, love, and happiness.

Thank you for adding so much to my life. I can never thank you enough for all you’ve done for me. I can only hope I made you as happy and joyful as you made me. I love you forever, I miss you horribly, and I look forward to the day I will see you again.

 

With all my love forever and ever,
Panda Bear
