Dear Sonny,
Thank you. Thank you so much for every day that you spent with us. Thank you for your kindness which was unmatched in our lives. Thank you for your patience in the way you sat quietly here or there, waiting for cuddles, breakfast, or for the biscuit factory (papa’s tummy) to open. I’m sorry we kept you waiting but you were so understanding. Thank you for understanding.
Thank you for being so silly and weird. You ate it up when I wobbled your pudding cup, and we smiled so much together. I know you understood our sense of humor. Thank you for being so funny too. The way your tongue blepped out from your mouth was soooo cute and you knew it didn’t you? You had so many jokes and your criminal mischief kept us so entertained.
The way that you trusted me made my heart swell. I know you are my soul kitty. From the first day we brought you home and you laid under the sofa slow blinking at me, I knew. You communicated and expressed yourself so clearly. I was convinced you spoke perfectly english but just decided to be quiet for fun. Thank you.
I promised you that even though I couldn’t remove the trauma of your kitten days when you lost your eye, that I would give you the best life that I could as long as we were together and I hope it showed that I thought about that promise everyday. I really wanted you to have the best life ever and I really really loved you. Your impossibly soft fur, your velvet ears, your little raccoon tail, your eternal wink that had its own little smile when you were happy, your fluffy white tummy and the way you flipped over so eagerly to have it wobbled (that pudding cup!) You were a flawless, incredible, amazing little guy.
Taking care of you was everything to me. You were so wise. Knowing you, loving you, was the most precious gift. You taught me so much about who I am, how to be a better person, and what unconditional love really is. You seemed to understand how badly I needed that.
I wont say that you’re gone because so much of you remains with me in everything you taught me so I’ll just keep loving you. Thank you for letting me love you.
Thank you for leaving me with no doubt that you loved me too. I miss you. I love you.
