We realize every day how much your name really suits you.

Because your mommy and daddy misses you every single moment.

We miss your little chirps to get our attention, quiet yet insistent for our love. We miss your loud meows when you've felt you've chirped enough and yet haven't got the attention that is your due.

We miss your loyalty, and your devotion - how you like to be near Mommy. How you like to watch her go about her business. How you come to the front door with us when we leave. How you sleep in the sofa right near that front door. How you wake up and dance at the front door when we come in, welcoming us.

We miss how you would come to our dining room table the minute we sit down for dinner...never to beg for food, but always to beg for attention.

And that you would jump and jump to make sure mommy and daddy noticed you and petted you. Right in the middle of dinner. Or conversation with friends.

We miss how you would come to watch TV with us. You would respect our cuddle time and instead settle on the armrest, the back of the couch, and be content. But made sure that you chirped once in a while so that mommy or daddy remembered to pet you.

We missed how you developed from a timid, scaredy-cat to such an open, affectionate kitty. A kitty that would come to welcome mommy's and daddy's friends, that would chirp to each of them to make sure they gave you the proper attention, that would rub yourself against their leg or their chair in affection, and then sit with them. And you also made sure that EVERYONE noticed you by sitting in the middle of the group, right in the middle of the living room rug.

Mommy misses how you would come to her in her sadness and cry with your little cries, empathizing with her, and comforting her by your presence and your affection.

Mommy misses how you would come to sleep with her in the night. How you would jump on the bed, look for a spot to knead and purr, and then circle about to get into the right position to throw yourself on mommy - literally. And then kept quiet and had a good nap, allowing your mommy to have her rest.

Most of all though, mommy and daddy misses your undying love and trust in mommy and daddy, when your history gave you no reason to love OR trust anyone.

Missy, we miss you so much!
