My sweetest Pei Pei,
Today would have been your 13th birthday.

I have tried for months to find the words to speak to you, to speak about you—but every time I came close, the grief rose so fiercely in my chest that I couldn’t breathe through it. I was afraid that if I let it all in at once, my rib cage would crack open and I would spill into nothing but anguish and tears. Even now, the words come slowly, carried on waves of sadness that crash over me without warning, leaving me aching and missing you in ways I don’t yet know how to navigate.

You were never just a cat. You were my soul kitty.

From the moment you came into my life at nine years old, everything changed. In those four short years, you gave me a lifetime of love. You followed me like a shadow. Wherever I went, there you were—my quiet, steady presence, my comfort, my peace. I am forever grateful.

You brought a stillness into my world that I didn’t know I was capable of feeling. You grounded me just by being there—by curling into me, by resting your head against my chest, by choosing me, again and again, every single day. You taught me unconditional love.

And every night… every night you fell asleep in my arms.

I can still feel the weight of you there. The warmth. The rhythm of your breathing. The way your body fit so perfectly, as if you were always meant to be there. Now this space feels impossibly empty. Sleep doesn’t come the way it used to. I can barely sleep in my room anymore, I lie awake, restless because the place where you belong is still waiting for you.

I miss everything about you.
Your beautiful little Bengal body—so graceful. Your rich red coat, softer than anything I’ve ever touched. Your perfect spots...

This is my Dad. To explain to you how much I ❤ him &how much he means to me is a bit of a difficult journey emotionally to navigate. You see, my Dad passed away Easter Sunday 2018; on a grey, rainy day that felt as heavy as the clouds in the meloncholy sky.
He was a long haul truck driver that travelled the entirety of N.A. a 1000x over. I grew up listening to an incredible range of his favorite music spreading many genres.As long as I can remember, my Pops reminisced about stories on the road, the incredible people he met (getting Dolly Partons band drunk;) &the lives he lived- from growing up on a tiny island farm in the far east to the great rural landscapes in the icy north. He sparked a desire to seek out the world around me and explore it as much as possible.
I fell in ❤ w/music early on, frequently attending shows& am certain it was ingrained into my upbringing bc of my Dad. I reflect now on spontaneous roadtrips w/my Dad as a teen, taking off for 100s of miles on a whim, just b/c he felt like 'going for a drive',or the time he took me to Woodstock'99 as an early grad present so I could see all of my favorite bands. It blew our collective minds. He always inspired me to reach for the stars& supported my many passions;He drove me to practices, spent countless hrs @ the rink& ball field &felt like my biggest fan. When I went to art school in Italy at 17, he encouraged me to surrender to my environment& enjoy every moment, even when I was lonely as Hell wanting to go home. His love unconditional.He propagated a confidence in me that I could do anything independantly. The thing I couldn't do was keep him here on 🌎. My heart feels forever shattered bc I knew how much he didn't want to go.I imagine a future w/ all of the things we will never do or say; so many stories untold.
It's so true, that beautiful letter where Nick Cave describes how intimately intertwined grief and love are. How one cannot exist w/o the other &how grief is the tragic reminder of the depths of our love. I am learning how to continue on w/o his monumental presence. I miss&love my Dad beyond measure. He was my world.Forever my hero & me his little girl.
