Dear My Darling Boy,
You've been with me through the good and the bad. I remember when I first met you; it was fifteen years ago and we were at Edmonds Beach. I think it was one of the last times we had our annual Spring Solstice picnic. You were with your sister, and even then I knew that she was going to be a hellion. But the both of you were so cute together, and when I first set eyes on you I knew then that you'd be a lifelong friend.
You were with me through the high school years, and you were always there to comfort me and nudge me through numerous tears shed. You waited patiently and always greeted me on those infrequent visits back home during college. I always regretted the fact that I wasn't home as much as I should have been those five years. I spent a year away from you in Japan, but I always looked forwards to conversations with home so that I could hear about you.
My dad likes to think of you as his, but from the beginning I knew you were mine. We always have had a special connection, you and I. There were days when the two of us would just sit together side-by-side and enjoy each others company. I don't think I will ever be able to find another you. I mean, since moving home without fail every morning you come into my room to cuddle for a couple hours and make sure I don't sleep in too late. You are always begging for attention, and you know that all of us can't resist you.
It hurts that you're getting older, fifteen years is along time and that's in human years. You're an old man in cat years. But all I know is that it's going to take a superbly, fantasmic human being to replace the huge chuck that you have of my heart. So good luck, men. My furry black ball of fur is thus far the love of my life and I'm proud to announce that fact. I am so proud to call you, my boy. Thank you for all those years of sitting by my side and cheering me up. Here's to many more (unlikely, but let me hold on to this belief).
All the love in the world, Kiana
