Dear Molly,
Oh how I wish I could smother you with a thousand kisses right now. Naps just aren't the same without you pressed up against my leg, stretched out on my back, or casually sitting on my face to let me know its play time.
Those mornings you decide to act psychotic at 3 in the morning, those are the mornings I miss the most.
When people ask my what I miss most about home, or why I get homesick so often, my answer is always the same. It's all because of you, you all black, 12 pound fur ball.
When people scroll through my camera roll and see the unhealthy amount of pictures and videos I have of you, I receive the weirdest looks. But do I care that people think I'm weird? Absolutely not.
Those days I just need someone to sit with and ponder life with, those are the days I think of you the most. You always knew what to do. It's like your kitty instincts told you I was sad. Your ridiculously soft fur and gentle purrs never fail to make me smile.
God put you in my hands for a reason; to love you unconditionally. I would say I have followed God's plan and loved you with every inch of my heart, soul, and body. Dad thinks he can replace me, but we all know thats near impossible.
The times I accidentally close my door at night and you paw endlessly until I gain the strength to get out of bed to open my door, those times are irreplaceable. Or when you find a random ponytail holder under my bed and decide to play a fun little game of soccer at the most inconvenient times. No matter how annoying it may be, I still obsess over you.
What is your life like without me? Because my life is darker without you. You are my sunshine, my blanket, my heart. No matter how many scars I have from your untrimmed claws, I will never stop loving you.
I miss taking baths with you.
I miss forcing you to take selfies with me, even though I know you are camera shy.
I miss coming home to a random hump under my covers.
And most of all, I miss you.
Lastly, I want to say thank you for being my muse. You inspire me to be happy. You remind me that every bridge I cross is a new beginning, a new opportunity. So cheers to the rest of our lives. May we conquer the world at full force my love; together.
Forever and always,
Your loving mother
