I’m not sure how we came together, you and I …serendipity I suppose. I was looking for a rescue, but little did I know at the time, it was actually I that would be rescued.  

I wish I could remember how it happened. It’s truly frustrating for me — as I typically have an impeccable memory. 
But things that I do remember are our very first video chat. You were a snuggle bug and you still are. We went through many milestones together— both yours and mine, and we grew together through every one. 
And I taught you simple things while you were teaching me the big things. Things like unconditional love acceptance and an appreciation for simple things.

To say I’m grateful for you doesn’t come close. You have forever changed my life in the best way possible and
every morning when I wake, you are there with a snuggle.

So, on your first birthday I want you to know that I love you even more than the day I brought you home, and I suspect I will love you more every single birthday for as long as either of us are alive. You have my whole heart. I love you in a way I will never share with another.

Thank you for rescuing me. ❤️
