6/17/23 This was my 1st morning waking up and not having you here. Staring at me, waiting for me to wake up and feed you. We had our morning routine down pat. After you ate you would climb on my desk and take a nap while I worked. Everywhere I went you followed. My heart is just aching. I want you back so badly! I hope you are making friends and running free. I love you.

6/19 Today is day 3 without you on my bed in the morning. I honestly don't know how to get thru this. My pain is so deep. I love you so much. Many people are writing to me on this site and telling me their stories, and that does bring some comfort. But I want you back so bad! I hope you know I tried to do the right thing, to keep you from any more pain and suffering. I love you.

6/20 Day 4 and I still feel awful. You were with me when my precious son died and then my sister, and then my mother & father-in-law. Always by my side. In the end, I was not with you. I am so sorry! Wait for Mommy, we will be together again. I love you.

6/21 I keep looking for you in your favorite sleeping place. My heart just aches. You are my everything, how can you be gone? I miss you so much. You are 'mamma's baby' forever. I love you.

6/29 You have been gone almost 2 weeks now and your energy in the house is still so strong. Today I thought I could smell you all over the house. It brings me joy & sadness at the same time. I miss you so much and wish you could have stayed with me forever! I love you.

7/2 Having a bad morning today, and missing you. I thought I was getting better but then it just comes in waves. I just saw something today that really says it all: goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, you were bigger than the whole sky. I keep watching the side of the bed you always climbed up, waiting for you. I will never forget you! I love you.

8/2/23 Had a bad day yesterday and just cried & cried. I thought I was getting better, but then it just hit me while I was talking to someone. I wish you were still here! I miss you so much. I love you!
