Pepeu, beloved son
Your departure hurts, and it's hard to believe that you're no longer here, on land, spreading tenderness with your deep blue gaze.
You adopted me, I adopted you, and together, with Galzinha by our side, we have shared joys, triumphs and changes in our lives. In these 11 years, we have been the certainty, the moments of peace, the comfort, the family, we have been our own home.
Being a friend and making friends were his greatest characteristics. Being immensely liked and loved is his legacy.
Your departure came abruptly, but you left me in good company. I thank you for that and for so much more: for having been my companion, my best friend, my tenderness, my daily joy, for having marked my life with your paws, winks and purrs of love, and for having made every day worthwhile.
Until the last day, we danced to boleros and made-up songs that were part of our daily lives. "I'd start all over again / If I had to, my love." But our farewell doesn't fit here, because our soul connection is infinite and "the orchestra awaits us." Until then, I'll live every day with this longing that never ceases.
Pepinho, Pepo, Pintinho, your life goes on, and I wish you the freedom to be happy, to roll over on your belly and wag your pretty little tail at every joy: nothing less.
With all my love and deep affection,
Weasel
