Our hearts will never be the same without you. You brought so much love, joy and life into our home. You were such a spark of personality, that made me appreciate how animals truly are living beings. Your unconditional love for myself and your mama will never be forgotten.

Looking back, I see how we went through many chapters of life together. From apartment living and partying, to becoming parents - you were there to help guide us and more so, love us.

You did an amazing job looking out for us, especially your mom. She misses you terribly. You were her little black knight, keeping her safe and loved throughout so much. Her tough days at work, migraines, pregnancy and child-rearing, you were there in the late night hours to snuggle with her.

You helped me grow up, and begin to set down roots. You and your fur-brother Bjorn were the first family that I ever made my own. I still remember you laying on my chest as a kitten on our futon, just sleeping and purring. How I whispered I would protect you from everything... but it was you who protected me. I cannot thank you enough and my heart aches to see you one more time.

You were our daughter's first words, and now she sees all cats and call them by your name. She is a cat person now because of you. It is a painful joy, to know you will forever be written in to the fabric of our family. I
wish you could see them grow up, and guide them as you guided us.

However, your job was to look out and love your momma and I. And you did your job perfectly. Now your job is done, and you deserve to rest.

Please find the best sunny spot, where lizards and mice are abound for you to chase. Give your furbrother the biggest hug from us. I am certain you are catching up with him, telling him all about how his baby sister, Isabella, has grown into a wonderful soul and of the newest addition to our family, David. I wish for both of you to find the best spot out in the sun, and to lay together like you once did with us in our backyard.

Your love will never be forgotten, and we will never stop loving you.
