Dearest Preshy,
At the least little sound, I turn, thinking it's you.
I see something dark in my periphery and I turn, thinking it's you.
I expect to see you, curled up next to the pillows on my bed, on the velvet chair, in those quiet, warm spots that you've recently come to prefer on the floor of my closet or under my bed, taking your naps. I expect you to jump up on my bed in the morning to touch your nose to mine, or to speak your sweet little "meow," gently awakening me to a bright new day, ready for your breakfast. I miss our evenings together with you stretched out on my lap, so relaxed, while I pet your silky long, soft, shiny black coat and scratch you behind your ears, chatting with you the entire time. Initially, I adopted you because Danielle loved kittens and couldn't have one at her house, but over the years, you've become my Precious, a gift from God to me, a wonderful blessing, and I thank Him for you.
I miss you, Presh. Memories of you flood my heart and mind. Home is empty without you, Baby. I wish I could bring you back.
I'm so happy that we have had nearly 16 years together. You were such a good girl. And such a beautiful cat! Every time I looked at you, I marveled at how gorgeous you were. A few minutes ago, I thought I smelled your fragrance. I wish it was you.
My heart is overflowing with love for you, Preshy, and you will never be forgotten. Thank you for your love and companionship all these years. I miss you.
Love forever,
Mommy
