I will watch over you.

I will watch over you, my beloved friend. I am free from pain and discomfort now. I am no longer afraid. My bones no longer ache, my muscles no longer strain. My eyes are not dim, my voice has lost it’s croak. I am now the cat I always wanted to be. I will live forever, and I will watch over you.

I will watch you grieve for me. I see now how much you loved me. I see now what I meant to you. When you wake I will watch over you. Look for me in the morning sun and I will bring light to your world. When you sleep I will watch over you. Listen for me in your dreams and you will hear me purr. I will watch you grieve for me, and I will love you all the more for it. I will always be your cat.

I will watch you remember me. When you cry at my absence I will cry with you. For know I long to be with you. When you weep in the night I will bring you warmth. If you wake and your face is dry it is I that licked away your tears whilst you slept. When you remember me with happiness I will laugh with you. My laughter is the wind in the field, the crunch in the snow. I am everywhere, and with you always. Rejoice in the time we spent together. It was my life, and I do not regret a moment of it. Cherish the memory of the moments we had. they were precious to me in a way I can never explain. You are my world.

I will watch you care for others. I will watch you love them. I will love them too. They succeed me, not replace me, and I know your love for them does not detract from your love for me. The depth of your love amazes me. When I see you smile it will warm my heart. Your joy is my own. 

As I watch you, know this. I love you, and now I will love you forever. One more thing, my beloved friend. We. are. not. done. yet. I will wait for you. When your own time comes, we will be together again. When it is someone else’s turn to grieve, we will watch over them together.

So, as your journey continues, do not think of me as gone. I am with you every step. I am the shadow just out of reach, the last echo. I am the warmth of a summer day. You may not see me, but I will watch over you.

That's so beautiful.  Gareth, you may not realize it, but I know you are of great comfort to others feeling loss and pain.
