I'll post a better eulogy soon.

He was so happy to see me, he actually perked up looked me in the eye and started purring when I rubbed his head with my goatee, as I've done every day for four years now.
I thanked him for saving my life, for the incredible friend that he's been, and for being such an Amazing boy.

I got to let him, hold him, comfort him, soothe him, smell his wonderful breath one more time, and to hear him purr as I spoke to him made me feel ok, he knew it was me, and he knew it was time.

I soothed him with all the usual special noise I make for him, I told him not to be afraid, that Snuggles has been waiting more than two years for him and that there were lots of others waiting on the other side.

I prayed that God keep him and use his special talents to make people happy there, and as I said, to be a storyteller with all the incredible moments he's had.

My little Boy is now free, and I get to celebrate how impactful he has been on my life, bringing me closer to God and to my best self.

I will honor him each and every living day I have left, just like Snuggles.

Someone told me yesterday that pets come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime, and I feel so blessed and honored to have him share his with me.

RIP Cuddles 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
