In loving memory of Sweet Potato (May )

✎ What small daily thing do you miss without expecting to? At night, just before bed, we’d watch YouTube together. We had our favorites, even him. Out of everyone, though? We always loved watched Caseoh. He’d lay at my feet, watching. If there was a jumpscare? He’d crawl right into my lap. We always watched Caseoh last, right before bed. He knew it was bed time after Caseoh’s video was over and he’d herd me to bed. I miss these moments.

✎ What did a normal morning with them look like? We’d eat breakfast together. I’d sit with my coffee, an egg sandwich, and a book. He’d sit by my feet with his kibble and water. It always felt so warm in moments like that. In the background, the birds would be chirping. The windows open. It was always so peaceful. I miss these moments with him. I’d tell him good morning, we had a solid routine. Wherever I went, so did he. I was his favorite place and he had quickly become my best friend.

There was one time he was sitting in my window. I had just woken up and he was sitting like a person, legs spread. His little tongue was sticking out. It was hilarious, I laughed. That’s when I started to call him Mister Playboy. A nickname. He was such a sweetheart, he lived up to his name. If I could tell him one thing, I’d tell him that I love and miss him. I miss seeing his little bright pink nose. It was funny, occasionally I’d see him with his little pink nose dotted with kitty litter.
