My precious. My little one. My bead...
Манюня... Мурзинка... Мася...

You came to us on February 07, 2020. I was ready to hold you until I fell unconscious. I admired your black ears and cried. I cried all evening. I knocked out only because the tears on the cheeks dried up.
I loved every moment. I knew that you would accept me. You bit and ran away. You were afraid of me and everything around. Was it hard for you too?
You took care of me. I don't know if you can understand it, but you took care of me. I closed myself in fur and cried like now. You were afraid, but over time you realized that it was comfort me. You spent so many years with me. You considered me as congener. I want to remember you like this forever. I won't forget you. I'll forget my friends. Forget everyone around. Forget myself. Always do. BUT I WON'T FORGET YOU. You are not human. You never hurt me intentionally. So rest. I'll look after you.
