To my dear Be-ta aka Tarbender aka Porkchop aka TKat,
I am writing to you to let you know how much you mean to me. I love you, I really do. You are an inspiration to me in so many ways.
I love your compassion, it seems endless. Whether it be for animals, people or the planet. Even though, I know sometimes it makes you feel silly or sad. Remember the time you cried during that Ensure commercial?
I love that you like to take pleasure in the small things, reading a great book, watching a favourite movie for the gazillionth time, 2 hour soaks in the tub or a slice of cheese
I love that you think the cure for almost everything can found in either in a coffee cup, wine glass or a trip to Disneyland.
I love that you take the greatest joy from seeing other people smile. You’ll go out of your way to make it happen.
I love that you are always trying to find a way to do something special for someone else.
I love that you think singing and dancing in the living room, the car or walking down the street is still a performance art. If anyone saw you they should feel lucky they didn’t have to buy a ticket. It really is quite the show.
I love your spontaneous side, your sense of adventure and your willingness to try new things. The latter is something you weren’t always comfortable with and I am glad that you are overcoming that.
I love that no matter how grown up and responsible life requires you to be, you are still a child at heart.
I love that your favourite movie night will always be a Disney marathon, sing-a-long style.
I love that you love your stuffed animals the same way you did when you were five because everything you see in Toy Story is true, right?
I love that your favourite time of year is Christmas because you still believe.
I love your nose. It may be the family nose but you make it cute as a button!
Love always,
Tabby Cat
P.S. Never let “anyone” know that nickname doesn’t bother you.
At first I was like wow this is some cat! But then I thought huh singing in the street? Disneyland? Haha! Sounds like you got quite the perfect match there!
I think it’s important to remember the stuff that makes us special and unique.
