Man
August 2010-August 31st 2023
A container of kittens was presented to me and I fell in love with you, but I was there for a little girl, so at that first meeting I left you behind. I couldn’t stop thinking of you though and had to go back. Mom wasn’t thrilled at first when I brought in ANOTHER kitten, but you would grow up and become her closest companion, I know she’s missed you and it’s a relief to me to think you are together again, that she was waiting for you on the rainbow bridge.
I was 18 when I went back for you on that horse farm, you would be with me through relationships and college, my baby Man. I put you in little outfits and you came when I called you in from outside and I would rescue you when you got stuck in a tree and we would take so many naps together. I couldn’t bring you when I left for Seattle but by then mom had made you hers and you would bring her so much comfort through her struggles and illness. When she could not care for you you went to where you were next needed and became Leslie’s close companion, working your way into her heart as well, following her about and taking your naps on her chest, she should have had more years with you. Whoever’s care you were in you were really taking care of them, and while your life was cut short by cancer, there sure was a lot of life and love within those years. Losing you wasn’t an ending I was prepared for, I was hoping to see you in mid October just a month and a half away. I know you were loved to the end, comfortable and purring you were freed from pain. I cannot ask for more but you will be so missed. Rest easy my baby Man 🩵
