Mid 2002.
The day I met furry little you.
Four white sock feet.
Black-tipped tail.
Spotted tabby.
Best day of my 5-year-old life.

15 years.
You were there.
Elementary school.
Middle school.
High school.
Through the changes,
A constant.
A friend.

And then one Tuesday morning,
You were gone.
We looked for days,
But you were nowhere to be found.

That inevitable day.
The day I would lose you.
I had dreaded it.
For years.
It had come.

I daydreamed for months.
That you would reappear.
Like some Hallmark miracle.
But your time had come.
You were gone.

So I come today.
2 1/2 years later.
To thank you.
For the years you were there.
And to say goodbye.
To my sweet kitty.
