Every weekend morning at 8, you would come to my bed and wake me up. You never let me sleep in. You just stood there, or meowed, or touched me with your paw, like you were saying, "Get up, it's our time."



Every workday, when I came home, you were already waiting at the door. Before I even opened it, I knew you were there. That was the best part of my day. Work was long and hard, but you made it all go away.



You were not just a pet. You were my family. You were my quiet friend, my little shadow, my reason to come home.



I found a star at astarnamed.com — the star in the sky when you left. I named it after you. Now you have a new home in the heavens too.



I miss you every day. I will always miss you.



Xiaoan, forever in my heart.
