Your Pet Loss Diaries

3 weeks tomorrow you left us.

I think about you everyday. My daily routine has been weird. I still sometimes feel you under the kids blankets. I still look for you in the sunspots around the house. I still think to myself "better keep the heat up today, George will want to sit on the heater vent". The other cats eat NOTHING compared to what you ate! I don't hear you eating anymore though, and that makes me sad. I miss hearing the sound of your nails hitting the hardwood as you pranced through the house. I miss seeing you bound around the corner and me saying "Hey Georgie". I miss my little french fry :(

I wish I knew for sure that you were ok. I wish I knew that you were ok with me doing what I felt I had to do. You were so sick and in so much pain. You looked at me and a moment of peace came over us both, or I thought so anyways. I'm so sorry. I wish I could have done more to help you. I wish I could have made you healthy. I know deep down that you were sick, you were born with it. I know deep down that nothing I could have done would have made you better. I wish like hell it didn't happen this way.

I can't believe how much I miss you, a CAT! Obviously I know how much pets mean to people, especially someone like me.

I miss you so much. You will be forever loved.
