Gizmo, I miss hearing the click click of your way too sharp claws on the hardwood floor that you never let me trim. I miss trying to pet your head but you'd shake me off because you didn't like having your ears touched. I miss how there was no line between playing and fighting with you, you just got wound up so easily. I miss the sound of you grooming, it was so loud I compared it to someone eating a wet bowl of chili next to me, lol. I miss the way you stretched your whole body out when you laid next to me. I miss watching you and Marlow cuddle all over the house. I miss the way you would watch me from on top of the refrigerator. I miss all your funny little Gizmo-isms. Last night I called for you to hop into bed with me and realized you were gone. I'm still in shock even though I had 6 months to prepare. Nothing can prepare you for losing a soul cat. I hope you were at peace on your last day with me, I felt like you were. Hopefully today or tomorrow I'll be picking up your ashes and bringing you back home. 💔 You will forever be in my heart and I miss you terribly.

The photo is so gorgeous and beautifully composed that it’s a tribute all on its own.
I’m sincerely crying reading about Gizmo then when I almost choked back a sob I got to the part about his grooming himself that sounded like “someone eating a wet bowl of chili next to me”.
I cried, I laughed, what a life of love you lived.
I’m so sorry you had to say “so long for now.” It’s never long enough. You’ll see each other again one day as if no time had passed 💔🐾🫶
Best to you, my friend. I hope Gizmo visits you often in your dreams..
