Your Pet Loss Diaries

Nov 21, 2012

Dear Sammy ~

I thought I would write you a letter to let you know how much you mean to me . . .

I've always heard, there's someone for everyone out there ~ who knew my someone would be a cat? For the most part, my life has been full of disappointment and sadness. Whenever things started looking up and I thought something actually might go my way, it didn't. God never gives someone more than they can handle ~ that which does not kill me, makes me stronger. I was convinced I had done something to someone, probably God, that he just didn't think I deserved what others take for granted ~ to know true love and happiness. I had even managed to convince myself this was as good as it was going to get so I might as well get used to it. So iI acted like I didn't care or that nothing bothered me. I thought the walls I had put up around my heart were strong enough and tall enough to keep everything and everyone out, and they were for a very long time.

Then one day this little fur ball crawled up the couch and laid down next to me. All it took was for me to look into that sweet little face of yours and I melted. You erased 40 something years worth of crap in a matter of seconds.

The 2 years you were in my life you helped me through so much. You were always there for me and I guess I thought you always would be. Like I used to tell you "I couldn't love you anymore if someone paid me." I love you with every fibre of my being. You are my partner, my best friend, my love, my heart, my life, my world.

So my girlie girl, I just wanted to say thank you for showing me true love and happiness . . .

Love,

Mama
