Time passes so quickly that sometimes we don't even notice. Life is just a moment, and we must love our loved ones to the fullest, especially our pets, who have an even shorter life expectancy than humans. Recently, my husband asked me how many years Tommy had been with us, and I am so lost in time that I immediately replied, “A year and a half.” However, I kept thinking about that question and my answer, and I realized that Tommy has been with us longer than that. I checked the exact date he came into our lives and realized that Tommy is already two years old. My beautiful kitten has grown so much, and every day my love for him grows even more.
Over the last few months, Tommy has become more attached to me. I feel like we are now inseparable. He used to be affectionate with everyone at home (and still is), but he has a special connection with me. He follows me everywhere, lies down next to me, and makes adorable gestures that I can't even describe, but I understand everything just by looking into his beautiful eyes.
I will never forget the day she came into our lives. I was nervous, scared, really afraid of having a pet because I know what it means to lose one, and going through that again was unthinkable for me. I remember that in the first few days I tried not to get too attached, and it was difficult. Seeing that tiny orange kitten getting into so much mischief and sleeping in such strange ways didn't help me keep my distance from him. In just a few days, he stole my heart, and now that love has grown infinitely.
Now more than ever, I am very afraid of the future, but I always try to push that thought aside and focus on the present. Although it is quite difficult for me, I try to give him all the love he deserves. I really spoil him, haha, but I want him to know that I have always loved him, I love him, and I will always love him. It's funny how I write this and get a lump in my throat.
Two wonderful years that have changed everyone's lives at home, and I hope there will be many more to come. I wish my little cat a long life. Even though he's a little old for me, he's still a baby. His behavior, his personality, and everything about him is like a child. Even my husband loves him so much, which is strange to see in him since he likes animals but didn't like the idea of having a pet. He's usually a little tougher than me when it comes to feelings, but that has changed a lot. He loves Tommy as if he were his own son, haha.
¡Feliz cumpleaños pedacito de pan dorado!
Happy birthday, little piece of golden bread!
