Our Love For You Will Never End

Dear Aston,

I love you and I am so proud that I was blessed with the opportunity to be your Mom for almost 5 years. You were our baby from the moment we first saw you and have loved you from that moment we laid our eyes upon you and left us way to soon. Your Dad was always an animal lover but wasn’t sure that we needed a kitten when we moved into our very first home. He quickly changed his mind the moment we found you and we looked into your beautiful blue eyes. You and he were inspirable, the moment he arrived home each day from work you were at the door and ran between his legs. When your Dad would lie down you rushed to be by his side. Every morning you ran into the bathroom to sit and wait for us as we got ready then you followed us around and talked to us. Then you would walk us to the door as we left for work. Each night you stole my pillow but I never thought to move you, I just curled up around you.

You were the most amazing pet…part of my family I have ever had the pleasure to welcome into my life and we will forever love you. I wish that we had been able to find out what happened, it happened so quickly and it does not seem fair. Please know that if there was any way we could have saved you we would have, the only thing we had in mind was you. We wanted you to be free from your pain and suffering. We hope that you understand and except what we had to do. I am so sorry that I was not there for your last day. I wish that I hadn’t left for my business trip, you were the most important thing in our lives and we will never be the same. I dread entering our home on Friday and having to face the fact that you won’t be there to welcome me home. You won’t be there to lay in my suitcase, to purr on my lap, to show me how much you missed me.

We love you so much and always will. Our love for you will never end and I look forward to seeing you again. My eyes burn from all the tears that I have shed and I remember when we first brought you home. Your Dad had his guy friends over and each night we had to pat them down to make sure that they were not trying to steal you. All of those tough guys cried today when they found out that you were no longer here. I can’t imagine them crying for you but I am so touched that they did.

Aston, I love you. Always have and always will. Please rest in peace and I will see you again some day and will wrap my arms around you and hold on.

Love you,

Mom
