Dear Sinead,

I'll never forget the day I first met you. You came bounding out of your carrier with a meow 10 times bigger than your 6-week-old self and immediately ensconced yourself in my lap, purring like crazy. You looked up at me with your huge eyes and I was hooked.

I love you more than I ever imagined was possible. You've opened my heart, soothed my pain, purred away my tears, and more than once, literally saved my life. As I struggled with severe depression, not knowing whether I wanted to live or die, your loving glance and your constant vigils gave me a reason to keep on.

Your purrs, your conversational chattiness, the fun you have playing with your Red String of Death, watching you as you enjoy the thrill of the hunt (whether for a toy, a bug, or a real rodent), your "cave kitty" game, and the beautiful soul I see in your huge, golden eyes. ....

You're my inspiration and my healing, my Sweet Pea, and a living example of how to live in the present.

How many ways do I love you? I love you as many ways as you have furs on your body!

Kisses and tummy-rubs,
Mama
