RIP My Manny

Dear Manny,

I can't believe that you're gone. 8 years together wasn't nearly enough time together. I'm so saddened that you have gone to the Rainbow Bridge. I will never, ever forget you, Manny. You were such a loving spunky kitty. I'll never forget how anytime someone laid their head on you, you licked yourself clean right after. Or how you LOVED chocolate and wouldn't leave us alone while eating it. Ever since we've had you, you have always tried to get out.

At the duplex in Michigan you used to wait by the door and sneak out and sit under our cars where we couldnt get to you. We weren't even suppose to have cats there so keeping you a secret was tough. In the apartment in NC you used to love sitting out on the deck. You were so clever that you'd catch birds who flew up. I remember the night you were out on the deck sitting on the ledge and next thing I know I see you jump off. Even in the house on Woodland, you were destined to be outside. You'd sit there and dash out right as we opened the door. Or you'd hide under the table when we least expected it. You loved outdoors, even though we wanted you inside, you decided that wasnt the life for you.

I never imagined your life ending the way it did, I always thought you'd live at least 8 more years. Just know that we love you so much, and you were as much of apart of this family as anyone. RIP Manny Banny.<3
