Goodbye Old Friend

Today must be the hardest day for us. After a period of degrading health issues we have chosen to let Pixel rest in peace. He is now galavanting and cuddling away with his brother Willow in that big cat-litter somewhere else.

 

we'll miss his voice when I’m cutting cheese, asking for a bite,

we’ll miss his warm smell,

we’ll miss his sharp claws in my shoulder when he hugs me,

we’ll miss his big dark eyes, when he looks at me from under his blanket,

we’ll miss his wrinkly skin in which he so graciously walked,

we’ll miss his head in my teacup,

we’ll miss his rough tongue on my head,

we’ll miss his beard cuddles on my face,

we’ll miss all the chewed up cables,

 

But,

 

we’ll cherish his pictures we made over the years,

we’ll cherish the lovely memories we have of him,

we’ll cherish the ink I had made, and carry close to my heart,

we’ll cherish the unconditional love he gave us,

 

Goodbye old friend, may the sun forever warm your skin, may your bowl be forever filled with snacks, may you find washing pins to play with and may you always find rest and love in our hearts. Thank you for your presence in our lives.

Done
