No matter how much I try to prepare... No matter how much I try to be strong and tell myself it will be okay... I find it still hurts deep down inside...
Yesterday I let go of a kitten I had raised since it was 1 week old... An orphaned kitten that could barely walk... That could fit into the palm of my hand... That would cry constantly for company and food while it staggered aimlessly around with its one eye opened, not yet able to fully see...
Trying to get it to eat... Trying to get it to exercise... Trying to get it to go into the sun outside to explore...
From a fragile little thing that would sleep in my lap... To a playful rambunctious little guy that could entertain itself playing with inanimate objects.... Running, pawing, stalking, exploring the world around it...
I'm hoping and praying you're in better hands now... I'll totally miss you little guy... This man of a mommy cat who never quite liked cats... My heart fell for you... And now there's an empty space where you used to sleep...
May you live long and prosper... May your future life be filled with much happiness...
To my "Orphy"... Much love from your Daddy/Mommy... When life was tenuous, you held on with your strength of will... May I learn the same from you...
Dearest Orphy now Ichigo... I'm so overwhelmingly happy that you're experiencing such a great, stimulating life full of love. Your new parents are so awesome!
