Memories of Thomas (Smudge-face)
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
01/08/22. Thomas, the days that go by without you are filled with grief. I miss you everyday and I think about you all the time. I would give anything to snuggle you again. xxx
19/08/22. I love you Thomas, I miss you so much and think of you all the time. It's been four weeks since you were taken from us. Your little bird toy is still in your spot on the sofa, keeping me company. Mr Cat misses you too, sometimes I see him looking for you in the garden and he comes back to tell me he can't find you. I often think about that rainy day when I came to collect you from the rescue centre. You didn't like it there and you wouldn't let any of the staff come near you, but they didn't know you were in pain from arthritis. I remember how I slept in your room for the first few weeks, and you snuggled up against me, you would put your paws on me, and you just kept staring at me as if you couldn't believe your luck. I remember when I gave you beef in tomato sauce, you loved it so much and you always ended up with the sauce all over your face. I'm so glad you came to live with me Thomas, I feel lucky to have had you in my life. I love you so much my little one, you're missed every minute of every day xxx
18/10/22 I love you Thomas, I miss you so much xxxx
16/01/23 I've been thinking about you so much Thomas. Christmas came and went and you were so missed, your loss has left a gaping hole. I know I will see you again one day but just thinking about the year ahead makes me feel sad that you're not here. I wish I could kiss your little nose. Mr Cat misses you so much too, he hasn't been the same since you left, he has struggled a lot and I try to give him lots of cuddles. I miss you my darling boy xxxx
18/07/23 My lovely little Thomas, I can't believe it has been a year since you left. I miss you so much Thomas. I still can't comprehend it. Mr Cat and Lulu miss you and Mr Cat seems lonely without you, he spends most days sitting in the garden watching the birds. I think about you all the time, I miss your lovely little tomato sauce face and I wish I could kiss your little nose xxxx
