“My shadow, my familiar, my beautiful boy with the world in his eyes. You were a part time street cat when we met, homed by a woman nearby who was no longer there. I brought you in and retired you, well into your early 20s. I miss you everyday, I love you, forever, my Neko.”
At that moment I felt immense grief and regret. I knew you were older and I knew something must have been wrong but I listened to those around me and I regret not listening to my intuition. I should have helped you sooner, I know you were 21 and it may not have changed anything. But I live with so much hurt and pain for not being enough for you in the end, I love you endlessly.
✎ How did they comfort you when you were sad? He would crawl all over me and lay across my back and kneed into me. He would purr on me when I was feeling unwell.
