If there is any group of people who understand the connection a human can have with another animal, it would be the fur community.

Soni is not a pet to us. She is our baby girl. Our sweet and loving daughter, who was taken from us far too soon. We love her like any parent would love their child. And she loves us. She made our world brighter, and easier to live in. She knew nothing, other than love and caring. Every time we came to the door of our home, we could hear her little bell ringing as she ran to greet us.

I miss her. I miss her so much that it pains me. But I know that she's still here with us, comforting us when the grief is too strong, and guiding her little sister into adulthood as she did when she was alive.

I will never stop missing my sweet baby girl, but I know I will see her again. Hold her, and hear that tiny squeak that melted my heart time after time. And until then, I can look upon this beautiful picture, and be happy that my girl is free.

Thank you,  Mei5683 for this. I will treasure it forever.
