My moon.
Every night I fell asleep and woke up to you laying next to me. How can I summarize how much you meant to me with words? You were everything to me and taught me, in only a way a lifelong companion could, how to love unconditionally, and wholly.
They said 5 years ago that you had 2-3 years left at most. But you were a fighter, and you had to see me through the worst years of my life to make sure I came out of them safely. How many times did I cry while holding you in my arms, being comforted by your gentleness and warmth? How many times did I fall asleep knowing you were watching over me? I know you still will, even after this.
You’ve been with me since I was 9, I gave you the name Nibbles because you always played with my stuffed animals and carried them down the stairs everywhere. You were just barely my second pet, and I was such a handful. But you filled my life with so much joy and love. I know you touched the hearts of so many of my friends, family, and even strangers. I will always love you, and I know you will always love me.
