Dear Pebbles, I apologise for being an emotional wreck in your final weeks and holding on for as long as I did. I hope you felt loved during your last few nights together, whilst I stroked you to sleep and fed you all your favourite foods. I hope the visit to see you brother, wasn’t too much for you and I am sorry this had to be the final outcome. I held you so tightly today, to try to absorb your smell, remember your purr and to ensure you felt loved and protected. I have no words to explain the hurt right now. But Pebbles, you have been my rock through childhood, adolescence and every other significant milestone in my life. You were my solid. You brought so much joy to the family and made me laugh when you would bring us back children’s sandwiches on your hunts, rather than the usual rodent. You filled mine and many other peoples hearts with so much love. Three families asked to have you during our time together and I didn’t have to think twice when I declined. More recently, the little girl on our street built such a strong and loving bond with you, so strong, that she kicked and screamed as she had to say goodbye to you and move to her new home. I am broken that you couldn’t survive our house move, where I had so many plans for us, including designing your very own bedroom. I am truly sorry you couldn’t be there to watch our family grow, and comfort them, as much you comforted me. I hope you felt comforted in your last moments - rest easy my baby boy
