Karma was my very first pet of my own. When I moved out at just 17 years old, I knew I needed a little companion to keep me company while I navigated college and figured out this thing called adulthood. That’s when Karma came into my life, and little did I know just how much of it he would become.
Karma was born in a shed in Ferndale, and when I first found him, his name was Boots, thanks to his little white paws. But Boots soon became Karma, and he grew into a name and a personality I would never forget.
In the beginning, he lived with me and two of my friends, and let me tell you, he was one EVIL little kitten!
He definitely kept us on our toes and gave us plenty of stories to laugh about over the years. But underneath that mischievous little personality was the sweetest boy, one who loved everyone and would happily soak up every bit of love and every cuddle he could get.
Karma was there through so many chapters of my life. He knew me at 17, when I was just starting out on my own, and he stayed by my side as I grew, changed, and made a life for myself. In a way, we grew up together. He was there through the quiet nights, the hard days, the good times, and all the little moments in between. He was my comfort, my companion, and a constant piece of home no matter what life looked like.
Yesterday, I had to say goodbye to a little soul who had been part of my world for so many years. There is no easy way to say goodbye to a love like that. How do you put into words what it means to have someone beside you through so much of your life? How do you explain the emptiness left behind by a little creature who made your house feel like home?
Karma, thank you for being my first baby, my companion, and a part of my life that I will forever be grateful for. Thank you for the cuddles, the laughs, the chaos, and all the unconditional love you gave me. You may have started out as Boots, but you will always be my Karma.
I hope you knew how loved you were, and I hope you felt that love right until the very end. My life was so much better because you were in it, and I will carry a piece of you with me forever.
Rest easy, my sweet boy. You were loved from the very beginning, and you will be missed for the rest of my life.
Forever my first, forever my boy. Until we meet again.
