Munster's Memorial

<3 Munster <3

My sweet old man, my only regrets are that I could not save you, and that I could not have met you sooner. I had you but weeks, and yet it felt as if I had known you for much longer. You simply loved love, loved to be held, to be talked to, to be kissed upon your head, to just sit with your head in my hand and be rubbed. You soaked up every last drop in the short time you were here, which makes me believe that you must have been well loved and cared for before you arrived. Animals just don't trust people in that manner without that.

I wish you could have had more time with us, and I wish that time could have been better for you. I watched you struggle, watched you cling to a life that you still deemed worth living. I wanted so badly for you to grow old with Minca and Merle, but I'm thankful that you had the chance to know them for a short while. I'm glad you took love and some comfort from them, I'm glad you had the chance to enjoy hammocks, new foods, and companionship before you left. My heart simply aches at finding so much love within you and having to let it go so quickly, watching a soul so bright simply fade before my eyes and not being able to find a way to keep you going. You were an amazingly loving boy, one of the best I've known, and I wanted nothing more than to get to know you more.

I wish you well, sweet man, on whatever journeys await you now, and I hope so dearly that I will catch up with you again one day. You made my world a better place by simply being in it, even if for so short a time. <3
