Saying Goodbye

around a year ago this time i said goodbye to my best friend. she was black and white. skinny and soft with fur like a rabbit's. she knew my emotions before i expressed them and was always by my side when they came to the surface. she was a happy face to come home to everyday. someone to miss when i was away. and never had a mean word to say.

when i cried she stayed by my side.
she listened to my secrets.
and never told anyone.
she helped pick out my outfits.
and she watched matt damon movies with me.
we were inseparable.

we lived together, cried together, slept on the same pillow together, and napped together for almost 14 years. now almost a year later i still miss her meow everyday.

but like a good best friend i only wanted what was best for her. and when i saw her in pain i knew there was only one thing to do. i had to not make her suffer anymore. so through blurry eyes i said good bye to  the bestest friend a girl could have.

i am so excited to once again share a pillow with her in heaven when i see her again.
i know she's keeping it warm for me.
