My sweet Pascal,

I’m so sorry for not taking better care of you. You only had 6 short months with us but everyone loved you so much. You were so full of personality, and letting you go was the hardest decision of my life. I’m sorry that I didn’t get to celebrate any milestones besides your first shed, and I’m sorry that you were never big enough to meet your big sister. She loves your brother and it breaks my heart that she never got a chance to love you. I’m so sorry for the pain you must’ve been in on your last day, and for maybe months before that. I hope you were comfortable when you left, I got to hold you afterwards and I never wanted to let go. I hope you grow big and strong with all the crickets you could ever want in the afterlife.

Love,

Leo
