a letter to my daughter
trigger warning: this post contains emotional content in regards to pet loss.
in my previous post we went over the general life update and 2024 recap. i had gone back and fourth on sharing this as it was such a vulnerable and personal experience. i’ve come to the conclusion and realization that i am not the only parent who has gone through this. perhaps this letter can serve those currently experiencing pet loss … or those who are in the days leading up to the terrible fate that is euthanasia. below is a letter to my daughter that i wrote to her in may 2024 when she was actively experiencing the loss of her soul cat, pippin. i wrote this the night before he had to be euthanized, it was a long dreaded night. she fought her sleep until the wee hours of the morning… Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease in cats caused by a mutated form of feline coronavirus. a fate we wish on no beloved fur baby.
