Rip Oreo, 1*7*19 (heart-moving speech in the notes; if you care, then please take the few minutes out of your day to empathize with my loss)
When the time comes to say goodbye, it's never easy to let go of the one(s) you love most. For the past 4 years, Oreo has been the only living being that was always there for me that I could depend on to love me and never leave me. When I had a bad day, he was the only good thing I could look forward to when I got home. Whenever I was sad, he could always just tell, and he didn't question it or anything, he would just express that he loved me and I would just know that he loves me more than anyone could ever. I knew that he was the only person(or cat) that I could trust wouldn't leave me. He was literally the love of my life and I could never forget him or forget the love I held in my heart for him. He disappeared on Monday, January 7th. Right before we had to move out of our house. We stayed and looked for him for 2.5 weeks but he never came back. In a weird way, I feel like we abandoned him. But then again, he's the one who left. I've never felt more alone without him, and I thought I would never be able to bear the day my cat died but when he went missing I was just in shock for the first week(ish). Then it hit me hard when I realized he wasn't coming home. I will never see my baby again. I will never be able to feel the comforting vibration of his purrs as I cry myself to sleep. I will probably never feel the same happiness and/or love that I felt when I had him. But that's okay because life moves on and I'll be okay. It's been about 4 weeks (from the time I posted this) and I am still crying when nobody's watching, but I want anyone who reads this to know that they don't have to be alone when they lose someone or something that means everything to them. I would've given up everything for my cat, but now that he's gone I have to understand and accept that that's how he gave up everything for me. So this is me (somewhat publicly) expressing that I'm letting my cat go, because I know that he's somewhere out there, in a better place and he couldn't be happier. So bye bye my kitty, I love you. <3
