Emily, you old fatass, I miss you every day
I remember how you hated me until we got a dog
I remember how you pawed at my foot when I tried to enter the room your litter box was in
I remember getting excited when you first let me pet you
I remember how you liked being scratched behind the ears
I remember looking forward to you sitting in my lap and purring when I got home from school every day
I remember the night I found out one of my friends left the school and you came into my bedroom to comfort me
I remember how much I cried when we thought you were dying years before you actually did
I remember how relieved I was to see you crawling out from under our dining room table that afternoon
I miss you
And I love you
