My Little Man, I miss you so very badly and it doesn't seem to get any better. I hear your beautiful little footsteps and I think I see you everywhere. Thank you so much for being in my life and allowing me the honor of having 14 wonderful years with you. I remember our first Christmas together how you climbed into the tree and I had to pull you out! You always put a smile on my face. When my mom died you were right there to let me hold you and cry all over you, always so strong seeing me thru all the difficulties and sharing in the joys over the years. It's so strange going to bed without you and waking up without feeling you pawing at my face and talking to me wanting your breakfast. I am taking good care of Mr Bear and Snoopy for you, and I cannot seem to move any of your toys from where you left them. You are in my dreams often and I love it so much as I get to hold you and cuddle you all over again and tell you how I miss you. I'm so thankful to sense you around me, especially in the really dark moments. I love how your whisker came to me the other day within hours of me saying I wished I had kept one of them. Uncle Graham misses you terribly...you were his little buddy. I'm so sorry you got sick my little Prince and I hope you know I did absolutely everything I could to keep you alive and healthy. It breaks my heart that you were in pain and I truly thought you were going to pull thru it. I understand that you held on for me as long as you could and I'm so glad we had that last beautiful morning of waking up together and cuddling one more time. I know you knew that I never could have put you down and I tell myself that's why you left me the way you did, but it still kills me inside that you went thru that awful episode the morning you died, but at least I was there to hold you and tell you I loved you and that if you needed to let go it was okay. I thought you were going to be okay once we were on the way to your vet because your breathing went back to normal. I was so shocked you died shortly after we arrived. I think they all thought I was crazy for sitting with you and holding you as long as I did afterward but as you know, it was always all about you and I never cared what anyone thought as long as we were together and you were happy. Everyone remembers you so fondly and loves you Tigg. As George would say (and I know he's taking good care of you for me now) You were a cool dude in a loose mood! I love you more than anything my little man, and I will keep my promise I made to you that morning about doing all the things we planned when you sat in my lap Sunday and we did our yearly projection and picked the date of December 1st to buy our first home. Even if I have someone in my life at that time, it's still gonna be you and me walking thru that front door together and knowing we did it, we made those goals a reality. I love you, I miss you, and I cherish every second I had with you. XOXOXOXOXOXO......Mommy
