My Dearest Duffy, I have a question and I need you Options

My PuppyBaby,
It's been 3 weeks and one day since I held you and hugged you. I tell you how much I miss you everyday. You are never out of my thoughts. You have made me the happiest person during your life because of your true love. I hated to watch you suffer and it got so difficult at the end. Had I known that I would be losing you when I did, I would have delayed the trip just to have spent the last 2 weeks of your sweet life with you and just savor you and take it all in. I remember the mornings when I would wake up to you barking to come up on the bed. I knew how lucky I was to have you in my life. I remember scratching your back and shoulders and knowing how fast our life together could end. And still, emotionally, I was never prepared to lose you. People keep telling me that you lived such a nice long life but it is never long enough. I miss sharing our apples. I know how much you loved them and the eggies I would make for you in the morning. You were my constant companion, my sweetest baby. I am so sorry for keeping you downstairs on the last weekend before I left. I did it to save you from the stairs. I knew that your legs were going and I wanted to just give you a break from that damned flight of stairs. That's why I carried you outside that whole weekend. I wanted to restore the strength in your legs. I hope you were able to relax that weekend, although you let me know how much you hated being downstairs. Duffy, I hope you were able to feel the love and admiration that I had for you. I hope that I expressed it enough to you at the end. I love you more than anything and you will never be forgotten. Life is short and it is over in a blink so when it is my time, I will be looking for you at the Bridge.

I do have a question for you. I need a sign from you to tell me what I should do. My friend needs to give his cat a good home. I am considering volunteering for this. As you know, I have never had a cat. I know that I can provide love to this cat. I've never met him and I already love him. I also know that this cat just lost his brother this year and is grieving and depressed, himself. I am thinking that we could help each other's broken hearts. Duffy, I know that you are such a pure soul and that you may be aware of what would be best for another pure soul. Should I take this cat home? Please give me a sign that I am making the right decision for this cat's sake.

I love you, Baby and will be speaking to you constantly. Be well, my puppy, and enjoy the Bridge and know that my heart is with you.
