Dear Pelly,
18 and a half years you spent with me. I was 6 when you were born.. we did so many things together…
I remember your first steps, in that cardboard box you called home. You were smaller than the others, but still you were strong and resilient. You never gave up and you stole my heart from the beginning. You became my cat and we used to spend days on end playing, talking, getting up to mischief… like that time we went up on the roof to watch the sunset and everyone thought we had gone missing!!! hehehe. I always smile when i think of that day.
When i cried, you used to come up to me meowing in your sweet way to let me know you cared, you’d cuddle up to me and play until i laughed. And it always worked. It’s true, you were my guardian, my angel, my protector. And you were with me until your last breath. I knew you wanted to leave, you were in pain, and i knew the time had come to say goodbye. You knew it too. You gently let me know it was ok, you understood… THANK YOU!!!
You have made so many people love you. With your gentleness, kindness, sweetness you won over people with your charm and character. And as you got older, we took care of you as you had with us when we were small. I will never forget you i never could.
Thank you Pelly, for being such a wonderful person to me, for caring so much about me and about us all. Thank you for understanding me and taking care of me.
We always had our little language going on, you always understood me and so did i. I was the only one who knew exactly what you needed… i tried to fight the signs you were giving me, the signs to let go. I tried to fight them because I didn’t want to lose you. I know you will always be there for me, and i’ll see you again. I know you are now happy, running, healthy and smiling. And i know you understand that i love you, i always have and i always will.
Pelly, you are always in my heart, my mind, my soul. You have filled my life with such happiness and joy i could never repay all the good things you have given me. I will always love you, and you will always have a special place in my heart, as in all of our hearts.
Mork and Mindy will miss you. Everyone will. But we will all know that you are always with us and you will never leave us. Your spirit lives on and we will meet again!!!
Be good, be happy and be healthy my dear Pelly!!!
With lots of LOVE and KISSES forever
