To my little man, Archie,
Thirteen wonderful years we spent together. I remember the first day I laid eyes on you. 
So tiny, your whole body fit in the palm of my hand. I bottled fed you until you were strong 
enough to eat on your own, then nothing could stop you, my little chow hound. Always you 
had food face. 
  You've been my best friend, saw me through thick and thin. Cuddled up with me when I 
was sad, Ran around my legs meowing when I was happy, or just laid purring contentedly 
by my side.  It's hard to believe there wont be the meowing in the morning to greet me, the 
howling when my car pulls up, the soft kisses on my nose, you, sound asleep on my slippers. 
  Oh Archie, my little man, I don't know what I'm going to do without you. I know your in 
good hands, Thorn is up there with you showing you the ropes. One day we will all be together. 
Just know until then, I will carry you in my heart. 
Good-bye till then, mommy loves you and misses you.
