Chi

2005 - 2021

One of the hardest things I've ever had to do was say goodbye to you, Chi. Yesterday on a beautiful sunny Halloween day at 2:25pm, you passed away peacefully in my arms. You've been with me for almost half my life, and there wasn't a thing that I wouldn't do for you. The day I found you, I promised you that I would take care of you forever, through the ups and downs and until the end. But in reality it was you who was taking care of me. You've been by my side through some of the toughest times in my life, and without words you knew just how to comfort me and ensure me that all was going to be ok.

With every goal I've ever set in my life I've always kept you in the back of my mind. When I was in school you would be by my side on my books as I pulled all nighters. You would refuse to go to sleep until I was in bed beside you. Every day you would loyally wait for me to return home, always excited to see me walk through the door, and even more excited to use me as your body pillow the minute I lay down. You were wild and full of attitude, but such a softie with me at the same time.

As time went on you become older and a bit slower, but nonetheless still always wanting to cuddle and be by my side. In every step of your life I made every effort to ensure that you had everything that you needed, especially as you grew into my little old grandpa. I did this because I know you would've done the same for me.

I hope I gave you the best 16 and a half years of your life because there's nothing that amounts to the enormous loving impact you made in mine. I already miss you so much, but I know you're at peace, and enjoying a carefree afterlife full of hunting and treats.

I'll see you again some day, Chi. I love you so much, I'll never forget you.

RIP Chi
