Thomas smudge-face, my darling little boy. You left us on Monday 18th July 2022. I'm struggling to comprehend what happened. We had so little time together Thomas, you were only with me just over a year. I love you so much and even though Mr Cat and Lulu are here the house feels so empty and quiet without you. You were only a little thing but had an enormous presence. You would lay on my bed with Lulu, and I would tell you the story of how each of you came to live with me. I would tell you about how I picked you up from the rescue centre in the pouring rain. You hated it there and were such a scared little boy. You came home with me and over time you grew braver. You stayed in the spare room to begin with, and I would sleep next to you on the bed, and you would put your little paws on my arm. You gradually learned how to play and how to trust. You were always scared of people wearing shoes and men's voices, I often found myself wondering what you must have had to endure in your life before you came here. What happened was so unfair. All the awful people in the world who get to live their lives, yet an innocent, sweet natured, little creature loses theirs. There is a door in my heart labelled Thomas and when I open it and walk in you are there snoozing on the sofa. I will always love you Thomas and I will treasure every minute that we had together xxx 25/07/22. It's been one week today Thomas, almost to the minute. I still can't believe you have gone. We were just sitting on the sofa, having a snuggle, when you were so suddenly taken ill. Life can change so quickly and in an instant its gone. I miss you so much. Lulu and Mr Cat miss you too. I miss your little face greeting me in the morning, I miss our snuggles and our walks in the garden. Sometimes I forget, and I call your name, then realisation hits. I have your little pink and blue bird on the sofa next to me, in the place you should be, and I imagine you there too, limbs outstretched, feet in the air and soft snores filling the air. I love you Thomas xxx |
