You taught me so much about love, patience, compassion and kindness. What a road we walked together, taking so many months and years to win you over. What a long way we came! When you finally came to trust me, it was utterly and completely. I am forever grateful that the last time I saw you, I held you in my arms and kissed your fuzzy head and told you I loved you. I will never forget you greeting me in the mornings, drooling on my face, and purring your love out to me. I am forever grateful to you for your love. I was utterly heartbroken to lose you in that fire. You were taken from me too soon, and it is a heartache I shall carry with me for the rest of my life. I love you, Pip, completely and truly.
