It feels like it was only yesterday
When you became a part of our family.
I was 20, you were only 4 weeks old,
and found abandonned in a backyard.
You were so small,
and all alone in the big bad world.
We took you in, and you became the little brother of the other little orphan cat we adopted 3 weeks earlier.
You were small and scared.
What a big brother he was.
I can still see him stealing some gingerbread to bring it to you when you were hiding.
Haha, you were so funny together. So sweet.
We decided to call you Bert and Ernie.
Many years have past. 21 to be exact.
We had to let go of Bert 8 years ago, but you were still standing. These last couple of years, you were the man in this household.
You weren't the smartest kitty around, to say the least, but you were definitely the sweetest one I ever met.
You were my little guy, my champion, my best friend, the love of my life.
But now your time has come, and although it breaks my heart in ways I can't explain, I need to respect that.
So it is time for us to say goodbye.
Thank you for being my best friend through all those years.
Life will never be the same again, but I will cherish 21 years of beautiful memories for the rest of my life.
I'll miss you, my little boy.
Yu gonplei ste odon!
In loving memory of 💜 Ernie 💜
I know quite a lot of comments are waiting for my reply, but I'll need some time to process what's happening. I'll be back when I feel up to it.
